Happy Father’s Day to all the wish dads and father figures who carry their families through life’s hardest chapters. 💙 We see how you show up without hesitation and encourage us all to keep on wishing.

Sarya says she wished to visit San Diego to create unforgettable memories with her family.

Her dad says, “The Make-A-Wish experience brought us a sense of hope and happiness during a very difficult time. It gave Sarya something to look forward to and it created memories we’ll treasure forever as a family.”💫

Pikachu, Gabriel wished for you 💫

Gabriel learned his wish to visit the Pokémon Fossil Museum in Chicago was being granted surrounded by family, friends, and community supporters who were there to share in the excitement.

Thank you to Subaru of Albany for transforming your dealership into a Pokémon adventure. From themed decorations to a scavenger hunt featuring his favorite characters, every detail was thoughtfully planned.

Go catch 'em all, Gabriel! ⭐💙

A huge thank you to Alaska Airlines for going the extra mile to make David’s first flight a magical experience. This flight included all the fun perks - model planes, trading cards, extra snacks, and “magic smoke”!

When the plane landed in Orlando, gate agents announced there was a special kid on the flight and escorted the family to baggage claim. “Alaska Airlines will always have a special place in our hearts, and made his first ever flight extra special,” said David’s mom.

“Ever since I was little, this has been a dream of mine to eventually get this bike,” said wish kid Wesley. Now that his wish has been granted, every ride means new adventures and unforgettable memories made along the way.

Thank you to Cycle Country Inc. for such a special experience and the wish granting team that’s allowed Wesley the chance to leave worry in the dust and focus on being a kid and having fun! 💙🎉
