Rio Carnival
May 3 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
25th Annual Evening of Wishes Gala
Each year the Make-A-Wish Rio Grande Valley gala helps us raise vital funds for reaching our mission of granting life changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. We invite you to join us in celebrating the excitement, joy, and beauty that wishes bring to the lives of our children.
Our galas are truly magical and give us an opportunity to share the full impact a wish brings to our children, their families, and the community. Last year’s event helped raise enough funds to grant over 90 wishes for local children fighting critical illnesses.
We hope you can join us for a great event!
A WISH ISN’T JUST NICE……IT’S NECESSARY.
When a wish comes true, it creates strength, hope and transformation in a child – and a community.
A wish brings healing beyond medicine. Research shows, and physicians agree – wishes can help improve a child’s quality of life and produce better health outcomes.
A wish offers the power of choice when children experience a devastating illness beyond their control. The wish journey fuels courage, builds resilience and shapes a child and family forever.
79% of adult former wish kids say their wish experience marked a turning point in their treatment and recovery.
Help us grant life changing wishes today!
