We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of a wish at the 3rd Annual Celebration of Wishes on Thursday, October 17, 2024, at Wilmington Country Club from 6:30pm - 9:30pm.

Celebration of Wishes is being chaired by Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer at WSFS Bank and Tim McDermott, President at Philadelphia Union.  At the event, we will be honoring The Andrisani Family, with the Star of Delaware award. As the Stars of Delaware, The Andrisani Family has embraced the power of a wish knowing that the wish journey is a crucial part of a child's medical treatment.

Join us at the Celebration of Wishes for an evening filled with delight! Indulge in a delectable array of hors d'oeuvres paired with fine wines as you listen to inspiring tales from local wish kids and their families. Engage in the excitement of our live and silent auction while mingling with fellow philanthropists and community leaders who share your passion for making dreams come true. Let's come together to celebrate the profound impact of Make-A-Wish on critically ill children right here in our community.
