THE 2026 RHODE ISLAND ANCHOR AWARD

At Evening of Wishes, the 2026 Anchor Award will be presented to The Integlia Family Foundation in recognition of its enduring commitment to wish children across Rhode Island. The foundation’s support dates back to the donation of our first Rhode Island office space and has grown into a meaningful example of what it means to champion our mission. The Integlia Family's tradition of giving back has impacted hundreds of children in Rhode Island who are living with critical illnesses, delivering essential hope, strength, and joy through the power of a wish and the extended journey of alumni through our Wish Community.
