Wish Ball 2026 – Make-A-Wish Minnesota Fundraising Gala

Wish Ball is the premier fundraising gala in the Twin Cities, bringing together Minnesota’s business leaders, philanthropists, and community supporters for an unforgettable evening benefiting Make-A-Wish Minnesota.

Hosted at the Mystic Lake Event Center, the evening features dinner, silent and live auctions, one-of-a-kind wish art, and powerful stories from Minnesota families whose lives have been touched by a wish. Guests will also enjoy live entertainment and a high-energy after-party with music from Pandora’s Other Box.

The funds raised help Make-A-Wish Minnesota reach every eligible child across the state—turning hope into reality, one wish at a time.

Black-tie optional. Hotel room blocks are available at Mystic Lake for guests wishing to stay on site.
