Every spring, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Jersey eagerly anticipates the most exciting night of the year, our Make-A-Wish Gala! This year is particularly special as 2008 marks a momentous 25 years of wish granting here in the Garden State! This wonderful accomplishment is surely an occasion to celebrate. We are pleased to announce the 25th anniversary Make-A-Wish Gala will be held on Friday, May 16, 2008 at Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson.

On this spectacular night, we will celebrate 25 years of hope, strength and joy that each wish child experiences through a wish granted. This gala is comprised of a black-tie dinner, silent and live auctions, as well as plenty of dancing to the wonderful sounds of Tim McLoone and the Shirleys.  Surely one highlight of the evening involves a testimonial from a wish child and family.

Of course, other highlights from the night include the special awards we present annually to individuals and companies that have distinguished themselves in their service and support of our mission and the greater community.
