Our September movie night was a success! We'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to the Williston community and all of the sponsors who made this event possible. Thanks to all of you, we were able to raise more than $17,000 to use toward granting more wishes ???

It's time to celebrate another fantastic partnership: Tommy's Express Carwash! They partnered with us for the very first time in August, and it was a great way to end Fiscal Year 2024. Thanks to the hard work of their team, they were able to raise $4,940 from car wash proceeds. They truly did shine! #MakeAWishPartners

North Dakota wish kid Kenobi was so excited to take part in this event for his wish?? Our partnership with Disney has always brought so many smiles to our kids' faces, and we look forward to hearing about Kenobi's Star Wars Experience!

??A North Dakota record of 61 wishes were granted during our 2024 Wish Granting Year?? From helping wish kids and families on their wish journey, to providing financial support for our various community events, our volunteers and community supporters are the individuals behind the scenes making milestones like these reachable. Thank you to everyone who believed in the impact and power of a wish in 2024 - here's to further partnership in 2025! ???
