2023-2024 Wish Your Way Mississippi

W.I.S.H. Society Hattiesburg

Make-A-Wish Mississippi is proud to hold its 3rd Annual W.I.S.H. (Women Inspiring Strength and Hope) Society of Hattiesburg campaign to honor 25 outstanding women in the community for their career success, their significant contributions to the community, and their personal passion and commitment to Make-A-Wish. This year's campaign is lead by co-chairs, Elizabeth Morris & Connie Keene, both 2023 W.I.S.H. Society Honorees.

The W.I.S.H. Soicety is a unique opportunity for women to not only network with other incredible individuals, but to inspire women in our community and make a difference in the lives of local children who have been diagnosed with critical medical conditions. W.I.S.H. Society Honorees influse the lives of wish kids with hope, strength, and joy at a time when they need it most.

The campaign will kick off on Monday, February 26th and will conclude on Wednesday, April 17th. As part of the Honorees' recognition and commitment to Make-A-Wish, each Honoree has committed to raise at least $3,500 to help take part in granting more wishes in our community. 

Over the 40 year history of Make-A-Wish Mississippi, we have discovered that the benefits of granting a wish extend beyond the intial event. A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energtic, more willing and able to battle their critical illness. For many of them, it marks a turning point in their fight. For their doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, the wish experience works in concert with medicine to make their patients feel better, emotionally, and even physically.

Thank you for contributing to Make-A-Wish Mississippi through the 3rd Annual W.I.S.H. Society of Hattiesburg campaign! You are helping make wishes come true!
