3rd Annual Evening of Wishes
At Make-A-Wish, we know that a wish has the power to transform the lives of children facing critical illnesses, providing hope, strength, and resilience to them and their families. This year, we are thrilled to celebrate the return of international wishes at Evening of Wishes, with the theme Around the World. These extraordinary experiences go beyond dreams-they inspire courage and create unforgettable moments of joy, reminding wish kids that anything is possible, no matter the challenges they face.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of a wish at the 3rd Annual Evening of Wishes, presented by Highmark, Inc. and United Concordia Dental on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
This year's Evening of Wishes is chaired by Dr. Edward Shellard, President and Chief Executive Officer at United Concordia Dental, and Kathleen McKenzie, Vice President of Community Affairs at Highmark. During the event, we will proudly honor Stephen Kindler, Sr. with the Hero of Hope Award. Stephen has made a meaningful impact in our community, driven by his enduring dedication to our mission.
Join us for an evening of delight! Savor a delectable selection of hors d'oeuvres paired with fine wines as you hear inspiring stories from local wish kids and their families. Enjoy the thrill of our live and silent auctions while mingling with fellow philanthropists and community leaders who share your passion for making dreams come true. Together, we can celebrate the profound impact Make-A-Wish has on critically ill children in our community.
