Wish Celebration
FAQ's
What is a Wish Celebration?
- A gathering in the family’s home or public setting to:
- Build excitement for the child’s upcoming wish experience.
- Provide materials and information needed for the wish experience such as the itinerary, credit card, flight information, etc.
Wish celebrations generally consist of the Wish Granters and Wish Participants, but there are times the chapter will arrange support from donors or community partners. You will be notified in advance by chapter staff if the wish will be enhanced by a community partner.
What is a Wish Granter’s Celebration Role?
