Join the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a spectacular night of celebrating our mission and making wishes come true.
The BIG Wish® Gala provides guests the opportunity to experience the Make-A-Wish mission firsthand. The event includes a fabulous sit down dinner, a live and silent auction and a few surprises. Guests also have the opportunity to hear stories of inspiration from children and families whose lives have been forever changed by a granted wish.
Brock (pictured) lives and breathes baseball. Fighting a life-threatening autoimmune disease, Brock had his wish granted in July of 2014 to meet Brandon Phillips from the Cincinnati Reds. He collected autographs and watched the team practice. Then, the moment Brock had been waiting for arrived, when he saw his hero – Brandon Phillips! They talked about the game, exchanged autographs and played a game of catch. Brock said, “It was unbelievable. I can’t even put it into words how it went – more than I ever dreamed of.” Read more of Brock’s story.
