The Central Ohio Golf Outing Presented by Good Sport Golf Club is your chance to help grant life-changing wishes for children right here in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

While foursomes are sold out, they remain available with Title Sponsor and Make-A-Wish Family Sponsor packages, among other generous benefits. You can also grant wishes and elevate your brand visibility through non-golfer sponsorship opportunities to reach guests and participating companies on Monday, June 22, at The Club at Tartan Fields.

Your business will get positive exposure and you'll send a powerful message about your commitment to our community. You'll also be aligning with Make-A-Wish, one of the strongest and most trusted brands in the world.

Columbus, you showed UP! With your support at NetJets Wish Gala Columbus presented by Diamond Cellar, we raised over $965,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for more than 96 kids throughout our community!

Special shout-out to wish brother and Make-A-Wish advocate, Brandon Flores, who kicked off Fund-A-Wish with an incredible $30,000 donation with the help of his Strengthline Foundation; honorary The Ohio State University Marching Band baritone (and wish kid) Caleb, who treated our guests to a live rendition of Buckeye Swag; and 2026 Travis Flores Legacy Award winner, volunteer, and Make-A-Wish champion, Robert Keehl!

With your support at Wish Gala Cleveland, we raised $1,030,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for more than 100 kids throughout our community!

We sent wish kid Luke off to Hawaii with some extra flair, wish mom Megan captured the audience with Evan's story of connection and community with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Sydney's cake made the evening extra sweet. After the cake went for over $5,000 in the silent auction, cake winner and Gala Committee Chair, Nancy Faulhaber, divied up her winnings into six slices for live auction bidders, raising another $15,000!

Congratulations to our 2026 Addie Wisniewski Changemaker Award Winner: Matt Brandenburg. Dedicated board member, longtime champion of Make-A-Wish, and friend of Addie’s, Matt's impact is felt deeply across our organization and beyond. His enduring support reflects not only a passion for the mission, but also a meaningful personal connection that honors Addie’s legacy in a powerful and lasting way.

We'll see you next year!
