Join Make-A-Wish In Charlotte For A Signature Event
The 2015 Wish Ball is Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina’s signature annual event, and you can be a partner in their mission to help children with critical illnesses. The 2015 Wish Ball is on Jan. 30 at The Westin Charlotte (601 S. College St.).
The event starts with registration from 6-7 p.m., dinner from 8-9 p.m. and a live auction and raffle from 8:30-9:30. The evening includes an incredible cocktail hour, an elegant dinner prepared by the Westin master culinary team, music and dancing to the sounds of Flashback the Party Band, and silent and live auctions. Most important, The Wish Ball is an evening of charitable giving: Since the event has started, it has raised more than $2 million towards granting the wishes of children with critical illnesses in our community.
If you want to stay overnight, the Westin Charlotte is offering a special room rate of $129 for Wish Ball guests who book prior to Dec. 31. Parking for the event will also be discounted for Wish Ball guests, at a rate of $12 for valet services and $6 for self-parking.
