The first-ever Virtual Evening of Wishes Gala will feature inspiring wish kid stories, mission moments, special guest appearances and more, all hosted by FOX 61 anchor and wish kid alum Ben Goldman.

Leading up to this exciting event, Make-A-Wish will be sharing a week filled with mission moments, wish kid stories, and auctions, all building up to the Virtual Gala on April 25.

More than 50 wishes are waiting due to COVID-19 related postponements. Now, during these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to provide the necessary hope to the wish kids who are waiting.

About Make-A-Wish Connecticut

Make-A-Wish® Connecticut creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child’s wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child’s treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and volunteers across the state currently grant nearly 250 wishes a year. Since 1986, Make-A-Wish Connecticut has granted more than 3,300 wishes to local children. For more information about Make-A-Wish Connecticut, visit ct.wish.org.
