Black Tie & Tennies Gala
|
If you've been to one of our galas, then you know what to expect. If you haven't, be prepared to have an incredible time! You'll experience a range of emotions during the evening, culminating in a truly memorable event that raises funds to grant wishes to the children in Guam and the CNMI. As is tradition, we ask that all in attendance dress in formal attire and sneakers as a tribute to our wish kids. This small gesture stands to remind us that our wish kids often live very adult-like lives, enduring grown-up situations related to their medical conditions, compromising their ability to be normal everyday kids.
