We are grateful that you joined us for Cirque du Wishes at Wish Ball Grand Rapids on Friday! Your presence made the evening truly special. Wish kid Mackenzie had her wish granted live onstage to go to New York City and see her favorite Broadway shows, and we shared a video of Grayson’s wish to meet his favorite author Jeff Kinney/Diary of a Wimpy kid!
Your kindness and support spark the magic behind every wish and filled the room with joy. Together, you help carry our mission forward and inspire hope for Michigan’s wish kids.
You can still donate at our wishball site: wishballgrandrapids.org
