Celebrate Wishes At The 2016 Make-A-Wish Gala

March 16, 2016

Residents of the Boston area won't want to miss out on the 2016 Make-A-Wish Gala taking place April 9. The Gala will be held at the glamorous InterContinental Boston hotel overlooking the city's waterfront. Attending is a great way to help Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island grant more wishes in 2016. Over the past 28 years, the chapter has granted more than 7,000 wishes. The Gala alone aims to raise funds for at least 100 more wishes.

Save The Date For This Year's Gala

The 2016 Gala is Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island's signature fundraising event. From start to finish, the event will be a fun and inspiring evening! This year's emcee is award-winning news anchor, reporter and current CEO of Brunner Communications, Liz Brunner. The Gala will feature a cocktail reception, auctions, and a sit-down dinner.

Guests will also hear from local children whose wishes were granted as a result of last year's Gala. The Wish Kids include Adriana, who wished for horse therapy lessons, Colt, who wished to go to Hawaii, and Rachel who wished to go on a cruise. These are just a few of the kids whose lives have been changed for the better by Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island!

Individual tickets are available for $750 each. Please visit the event website or email Jo-Ann Spillane for ticket details.
