At Make-A-Wish, we know that a wish is more than just a moment-it's a source of hope, strength, and resilience for children battling critical illnesses. A wish has the power to transform lives, bringing joy and inspiration to wish kids and their families while reminding them that anything is possible-even the things that may once have seemed unattainable as flying.

Join us for the 5th Annual Celebration of Wishes, presented by Harvey Hanna & Associates, Inc. and Nemours, on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. Led by Event Chair Thomas Harvey, this signature red carpet evening will celebrate the transformative impact of wishes and the community that helps make them possible.

Throughout the evening, guests will hear inspiring stories from local wish children and families, experience unforgettable moments of hope and celebration, and witness firsthand the life-changing power of a wish. Celebration of Wishes brings together community leaders, corporate partners, donors, volunteers, and supporters for a meaningful night dedicated to creating brighter futures for children throughout our region.

Guests will enjoy an elevated evening of entertainment, powerful storytelling, and community connection, all while supporting the mission of granting life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses.
