Make-A-Wish Rio Grande Valley celebrated its 1,700th wish and the 25th Evening of Wishes in May, bringing the community together to create hope, joy, and transformation for children with critical illnesses. This beautiful event, presented by Freedom Bank, helped raise funds to grant wishes to children ages two and a half to under 18 living in Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy, Brooks, Kenedy, and Starr counties. All funds raised at the Rio Carnival gala stay local to ensure every eligible Rio Grande Valley child receives a wish. Go to wish.org/rgv to learn how you can be a part of the power of a wish!
