We are thrilled to announce the return of this event for our greater Bay Area chapter on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at California's Great America theme park in Santa Clara. This Walk For Wishes® is extra special because it is the year our chapter turns 40, and we want you to be part of our milestone!

Walk for Wishes is a peer-to-peer fundraiser powered by wish families, volunteers, companies, donors and friends. By joining this free family-friendly event, you will help ensure that more children in the greater Bay Area will continue to experience the power of a wish for the next 40 years and beyond.

Birthdays are for making wishes, and our chapter's birthday wish is to bring more hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses. Help make our birthday wish come true by registering today!

Charlotte, 5

"Children like Charlotte need a wish because it gives them hope...It made her forget about the bad times, living in the hospital, the needles, the pain, the tears - it gave her the hope that we couldn't. To have this wish made her believe that there is good to be found in the world, too."

Estela, Charlotte's mom

"The wish has brought so much joy to David's life. He now has something he can look forward to every morning. He can physically touch it, hold it and see it, and that brings him so much happiness."

Maria, David's grandma
