👑✨ Kelyn's royal wish came to life in the most magical way.

From arriving by carriage to enjoying princess makeovers, tea parties, storytime, and castle adventures with her best friend, Kelyn spent the day living out her dream. 🏰💜

We're grateful to recognize Rylee + Cru as our August Donor of the Month.

As the presenting sponsor of Lemonade for Wishes 🍋✨, Rylee + Cru played an important role in bringing this year's campaign to life. By opening their storefront to our volunteers for lemonade stands this summer, they created opportunities to share our mission with the community and raise funds to help grant wishes for local children. 💙⭐ We're so thankful for their generosity, partnership, and support. 🙌

When lymphoma turned Skye’s world upside down, she found hope in her wish to travel to Africa to meet her adopted elephant, Murit. 🐘💙

After months of treatment, Skye’s wish became a reality, giving her the chance to connect with the animal she had followed and supported for years while exploring a place she had always dreamed of visiting. ✨

"It was definitely a bright star in a dark and scary time for me... something to take my mind off my illness."

Meeting Murit was more than an unforgettable adventure. It gave Skye something meaningful to look forward to, helped her dream beyond her diagnosis, and created memories that will stay with her forever.

"The impact of this experience will, without a doubt, be lifelong." ✨

This National Elephant Day, we're celebrating the incredible bond between Skye and Murit, and the power of a wish to bring hope, joy, and healing when it's needed most.🐘

Wishes can often be life-changing for children facing critical illnesses – bringing hope, joy and strength when they need it most. And when a wish leads them to an unforgettable destination, it can open up a whole new world of possibilities. 🌎

After facing leukemia, Lilly’s wish brought her and her family to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where days were spent snorkeling, exploring and soaking in every moment together. More than a getaway, it was a time to reconnect, celebrate Lilly’s courage and make memories that will last a lifetime. 🌊🌴

⛳️🎉 A record-breaking day on the green!

The 37th Annual Brendan Nordholm Golf Classic raised an incredible $245,000, the most ever raised in the tournament's history.

Thank you to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this milestone possible. Your generosity will help grant more life-changing wishes for local children facing critical illnesses. 💙✨

A special thank you to former Board Chair and wish dad Jim Peterson for championing this event year after year. His passion and dedication continue to inspire our community and help make wishes come true.

Friendship has a way of bringing light during life's hardest moments.🫶

After two years apart, Cody's wish reunited him with his best friend, Jack, who had moved to Los Cabos with his family. Best friends since second grade, the distance was especially hard on Cody, who missed Jack dearly.💙

When they saw each other again, it was as if no time had passed. Watching them pick up right where they left off was a beautiful reminder that true friendship can withstand time, distance, and life's toughest challenges.✨

For Cody, who had faced a brain tumor diagnosis along with brain surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and ongoing therapies, this wish brought something he needed most: laughter, connection, and the joy of being with his best friend again.

This International Day of Friendship, we're celebrating the bonds that bring hope, healing, and light when it's needed most. ✨💙

There are moments in a family's life that divide everything into "before" and "after."

For 10-year-old Jack, that "before" included cancer treatment, surgeries, and the loss of his leg after being diagnosed with sarcoma. But then came his wish.✨

Jack wished to visit Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and for one unforgettable week, he wasn't a patient—he was the star of the show. Surrounded by his family, Jack laughed, explored and soaked in every bit of island magic. 🤙🏝️

Coming just after completing chemotherapy, his wish was a celebration of healing, hope, and all the possibilities ahead. We're so grateful for partners like Disney who help make life-changing moments like these possible. 🌈

This Sarcoma Awareness Month, we honor the strength of children like Jack and the joy, hope, and healing a wish can bring. ✨🌺
