The Wish Society provides a forum for professional female leaders to support, inspire and empower one another to make a difference in the lives of children battling critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish Southern Florida was founded in 1983 by two women, Nancy Strom and Joan Fenwick, who were members of the Plantation Junior Woman’s Club. The Wish Society will continue to keep our founders' philanthropic efforts moving forward by being dedicated and committed to the wish-granting mission.

Cheers to granting wishes! Each year, the Wish Society hosts Whiskey, Wine & Wishes where over 200 guests enjoy fine whiskey and wine tastings, a Southern inspired food menu, and live music from local talented musicians. Guests place their bids in an exclusive raffle & silent auction to help make wishes come true. Since its inception in 2019, this fabulous event has raised over $230,000, enough funds to grant the heartfelt wishes of 46 children in our community. Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who make this possible!

The Wish Society continues to focus on their sole mission – actively working together to increase awareness and raise funds to help grant many life-changing wishes across our community. The Wish Society creates a walk team each year with friends, family and colleagues. They lace up their shoes and join the fun at Walk For Wishes Broward. This inspiring group of community-minded folks has successfully raised $30,000 as a walk team to help grant life-changing wishes.
