Wish Ball Gala

Our annual Wish Ball gala is this Saturday, April 27, 2024! This premier, black-tie fundraising gala is filled with extraordinary entertainment and heartwarming stories to support Minnesota wish kids. Together we will raise funds to grant the wishes of hundreds of kids facing critical illnesses in our state. This year we are thrilled to once again be hosting the event at Mystic Lake Center. The evening will include a sit-down dinner, silent and live auctions and an after party. Staying overnight? Book your hotel room now. 

Our program is graciously emceed by WCCO 830 Radio 3-6 p.m. host Jason DeRusha, and our live auction by Auctioneer Glen Fladeboe. Jake's wish to go Hawaii will be shared during our program along with many other inspiring stories. The exciting after party will include live music from Pandora’s Other Box, late night treats, a vintage photo booth, drinks and lots of dancing!
