The 27th Annual Make-A-Wish Ball on November 5th, 2022 at The InterContinental® Miami

 Celebrating its 27th year, 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.

The InterContinental® Miami Make-A-Wish Ball has raised nearly $32 million, granting the wishes of more than 6,400 children in South Florida. 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.

Actress and documentary film director Gabrielle Anwar will dazzle as our Celebrity Emcee for the 11th consecutive year. 

In addition, this year’s guests can anticipate a live musical performance by a headlining celebrity guest artist. Past musical performances have included Jennifer Hudson, Steven Tyler and the Loving Mary Band, Chicago, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Marc Anthony, Diana Ross, Adam Lambert, Joan Jett, Melanie Amaro, Wyclef Jean, Macy Gray, the late Natalie Cole, D.J. Irie, Snoop Dogg.

Last year, Galactica transported guests out of this world…this year, get ready for the second part of our two-part journey as our team of space explorers inadvertently slips through a time portal returning them to Earth. 

Once upon a time, nature opened up the door to “Supernature.”
