The 30th Annual Make-A-Wish Ball on November 1, 2025 at The InterContinental® Miami

 Celebrating its 30th 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.

This showstopping evening will be the biggest and boldest yet as we make wishes come true with a “Cleopatra” theme. Guests will be transported back to the 1920s when the last epic silent film was filmed in Hollywood. They will experience an extravagant and outrageous spectacle, a magical night of glamour in La La Land. 

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.
