Plan an Event

Anyone! Any individual or group (employees of a corporation, school/university organization, religious group, etc.) can host an event as long as it is approved by Make-A-Wish Utah. 

Once you have decided on what type of event you’d like to host and when you’d like to host it, the first step towards getting approval is to complete, sign and return the External Events Licensing Agreement. We ask that you allow one week for the office to approve your event. 

Individuals and groups hold all sorts of events from golf outings to bowl-a-thons, wine tastings, sports tournaments, ATV rides and more! 

There is no minimum amount required to host a fundraiser, but the amount of logistical support you can expect to receive from Make-A-Wish as well as the use of our trademarks and logo in your publicity and advertising materials will depend on the proceeds you anticipate making to the organization. 

All publicity materials (posters, invitations, e-mail announcements, press releases, etc.) need to be approved by Make-A-Wish Utah prior to print and distribution. This is so we can make sure that the terminology used to describe our mission and those we serve is correct. 

We ask that you refrain from soliciting organizations/companies/stores whose corporate offices are headquartered outside of the state of Utah. There are 65 Make-A-Wish chapters throughout the United States and we do not want to impede on the territories of other chapters, thus distracting them from their fundraising abilities. 

As wonderful as it would be to have a celebrity attend all of the events that take place to benefit Make-A-Wish Utah, we reserve the contacting of celebrities for wish-granting purposes in the hopes that they will donate their valuable time to make our children’s wishes come true. 

The proceeds from your event go directly towards our mission of granting wishes to children battling critical illnesses in the state of Utah.
