Celebrating its 31st anniversary, the InterContinental® Miami Make-A-Wish® Ball promises to be an elegant celebration supporting Make-A-Wish Southern Florida’s one sole mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits and encourages the belief that the seemingly impossible is possible.
High above the timberline in the snowy celestine peaks, a radiant citadel of ice, fantasy, mystery and elegance awaits your arrival at the crystal castle - a place where moonlight dances and wishes come true!
The InterContinental® Miami Make-A-Wish Ball has raised more than $47 million, granting the wishes of more than 8,700 courageous children facing critical illnesses in our very own communities.
A wish forever transforms the lives of children, their families and entire communities so please join us for an evening of philanthropy and wish granting to help us ensure that we can bring hope, strength, and joy to every brave and deserving wish kid across Southern Florida.
