Where dreams will blossom and hope will flourish
There are over 300 Iowa kids waiting for their wish. More than 20 of those kids live in the Quad Cities area. Bring them hope and joy by joining us at the Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center on April 26, 2025 at 5pm.
Guests will enjoy dinner, live and silent auctions, plus wish stories that will touch your heart. Help grant wishes like Hudson's wish from Eldridge, Iowa to go to Hawaii!
