ABOUT THE EVENT

 What a truly magical and inspiring evening we shared at the Wishmaker’s Party, presented by First Horizon Foundation at The Royal Poinciana Golf Club in Naples on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Thanks to your incredible generosity and compassionate spirit, more than $500,000 was raised - funds that will transform the lives of courageous children in our Southwest Florida community by granting their heartfelt wishes.

The “Flower Power of Wishes” theme set the stage for a vibrant, joy‑filled celebration, welcoming more than 200 guests for an unforgettable night. From exciting silent and live auctions to artfully prepared cuisine, signature cocktails, and the feel‑good nostalgia of KC and the Sunshine Band, the evening sparkled with energy, connection, and purpose.

At the heart of it all was an especially moving moment as our featured wish kid, Michael, and his family shared the powerful story of his wish journey to Lourdes, France. Their story reminded us all why this mission matters so deeply. We were also proud to honor Michael & Judith Theriault with the Magic Wand Award, celebrating their extraordinary generosity and lasting impact on our mission.

Your presence and your giving were the true magic of the night. Together, you helped create an atmosphere filled with hope, love, and possibility, proving once again what can happen when a community rallies around children who need it most.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us make wishes come true. Throughout the year, we look forward to sharing the uplifting stories that show just how meaningful your support truly is. For now, please know this: you are changing lives, restoring hope, and creating moments of joy that will be remembered forever.
