Where: Augustana University Elmen Center - 2505 S. Grange Ave, Sioux Falls, SD

This FREE, family-friendly event is all about celebrating our amazing wish families.

Enjoy a day filled with:

  • Bounce house & carnival games
  • Obstacle course & activities
  • Inspiring moments & surprises
  • Face painting and hair tinsel ...and so much more!

If you are interested in attending, please contact Betsy King at eking@mn.wish.org

Wish families that comes to this event will also have the opportunity to attend the rivalry football game against the two schools happening at 1:00 pm that same day!

This event is made possible thanks to the ongoing partnership between NCAA DII and Make-A-Wish. For 22 years, students-athletes and schools across the country have raised millions of dollars to help grant life-changing wishes for kids facing critical illnesses. Augustana University and Minnesota State Mankato student-athletes fundraise annually to be a part of these meaningful wishes - and this event is their way of celebrating YOU. Come connect with fellow wish families, meet the student-athletes who help make wishes come true, and enjoy a day filled with joy, community, and inspiration. Looking forward to seeing you on November 8!
