A little more than nine years ago, a small group of women got together to talk about what they could do to help grant a child’s wish. These ladies were seasoned fundraisers for school projects, youth sports teams, scouting and college alumni groups. During their first year, they each asked 10 friends to join them for a high tea and purse auction. Just 10 ladies attended the first “It’s In The Bag” event, raising $12,000 – at the time enough to grant two wishes! Knowing they could do more, they invited these same friends, colleagues, sisters, and neighbors to join the conversation.
Today there are more than 30 dedicated women with a shared vision that every eligible child deserves their most heartfelt wish. Working together, the Women’s Circle has grown their annual luncheon and purse auction to over 300 guests and they have raised over $1.6M in support of Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire grants wishes in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Since 1983, they've granted over 7,581 local wishes.
There are over 500 critically-ill children in our community currently waiting for their wishes to be granted. Life-changing wishes wouldn't happen without the power of supporters like you. By granting a wish, you ensure no child waits one unnecessary day to experience the hope and joy that a wish brings. Help us bring hope for today - and tomorrow.
