GALA OF WISHES 2026
Benefiting Make-A-Wish® Northeastern & Central California
The Gala of Wishes 2026 took place on Saturday, January 24th at Pardini’s in Fresno with 370 guests in attendance, who raised a total of $343,000 for Make-A-Wish® Northeastern & Central California. Attendees sipped crafted cocktails from The Red Room, Wish Kid Andrew found out live and on stage that his wish to go to LEGOLAND came true, and the attendees surprised him by sporting colorful LEGO themed glasses to add to the surprise. The audience was touched by personal stories shared by wish kids, their parents, and Dr. Sine from Valley Children’s Hospital, who shared his passion for why he thinks that the Make-A-Wish mission is part of local sick children’s medical recovery.
