Six-year-old Wish Kid Dayna Jade, whose wish to go to Walt Disney World® was granted last November, and her kindergarten classmates from Keone‘ula Elementary School donated $3,565 to Make-A-Wish Hawaii! They sold McFundraiser coupon books to help make wishes come true for more keiki.

Mahalo for wishing it forward!

Thanks to the generous support of gala sponsors, attendees, Fund-A-Wish participants, auction donors and bidders, WISH! Into the Future raised a record-breaking $1 million—the most successful fundraising event in Make-A-Wish Hawaii history—to grant wishes today and into the future!

It was a thrill to bring the gala back to an in-person event at the Sheraton Waikiki after three years of virtual WISH! galas due to the pandemic. There were many inspiring highlights from the night—wish alumni Reece co-emceeing with Hawaii News Now’s Ashley Nagaoka, celebrating the 2023 honorees, dancing to live 80s music by the Spazmatics—and sweet 9-year-old wish kid Iris’ surprise dance performance. Since Iris’ wish to have a dance studio was granted last summer, she has been twirling around her studio, experiencing joy and gaining confidence every day. Her breathtaking performance brought many to tears as she received a standing ovation. Moments like these are made possible thanks to your generous support.

Mahalo to all event supporters, especially presenting sponsor Schuler Family Foundation and D.R. Horton Hawaii, for making this event an out-of-this-world experience to support wish keiki across
