GALA OF WISHES 2025
Benefiting Make-A-Wish® Northeastern & Central California
The Gala of Wishes 2025 was a stunning event held on Saturday, January 25th at Pardini’s. A total of 350 patrons raised $368,475 for Make-A-Wish® Northeastern & Central California. Guests enjoyed a delicious Pardini’s dinner and were able to participate in the wish reveal for wish kid Michael, who wished to see the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Steam Train. Regional Council member Jordan Christensen even played the “conductor” to deliver Michael’s “train ticket”. Guests bid on exciting and original live auction items, all while helping make wishes come true. Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. When a wish comes true, it creates strength, hope and transformation in a child—and a community.
