Join Make-A-Wish Mid-South for Walk For Wishes on Saturday, April 17, 2027!

Walk For Wishes brings together wish kids, wish families, volunteers, donors, and supporters from across Northwest Arkansas for a morning dedicated to celebrating the power of hope, strength, and joy.

This free, family-friendly event is more than a walk. It's an opportunity to come together as a community, honor the journeys of local wish children, and help create life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses.
