W.I.S.H. Society - Women Inspiring Strength & Hope

W.I.S.H. Society 2024 Lowcountry

The mission of W.I.S.H. Society is to gather and challenge outstanding women to transform the lives of critically ill children, one wish at a time. By drawing on their individual strengths and circles of influence, they invite others to participate in the inspiring mission of granting wishes to local children with critical illnesses, transforming into Women Inspiring Strength and Hope.

The W.I.S.H. Society brings together the community’s most dynamic and inspiring women – women who believe in making a difference – and empowers them to act on that belief in a fulfilling and measurable way. Nominated for professional success, civic achievements, and commitment to philanthropy; each year, 10 to 20 inspiring local women are recognized as W.I.S.H. Society Honorees.

Over the course of the campaign which runs from January to April, they make a lasting impact by raising funds to grant the wishes of local children. At the culmination of the campaign in May, these outstanding women are recognized during the annual W.I.S.H. Society Champagne Brunch; an awards presentation to acknowledge each Honoree’s achievements and announce the W.I.S.H. Society Woman of the Year.

If you would like to nominate a woman for 2025, please email Shannon Rice for the Lowcountry or email Amanda Osborne for the Upstate.
