✨ When Jayla shared with her mom that she wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday with a party surrounded by her friends and family, our wonderful friends at Mack’s Original Pizza Pub stepped in to give her the Sweet 16 celebration she had hoped for. ✨

A huge thank you to the Cerrone Family and especially Katie Cerrone, who took the time to plan all the special details and was even there to celebrate alongside Jayla and her family. From delicious food to time spent with the people she loves, it was a special night celebrating an important milestone.

Jayla’s mom shared:
“Thank you so much for this. I will never forget that day because I didn’t know how to face my child on her special day, but A Wish Come True did the unexpected for me. I will forever be grateful.”

This is what Embracing Families is all about. Being there for the children and families we support beyond the wish and giving them opportunities to celebrate and create special memories together.

Thank you to the Cerrone Family and Katie for continuing to be there for our families and helping us create moments like this.

Happy Sweet 16, Jayla! ✨💛

✨ A record-breaking $725,000 raised at our Ripples of Love Gala! ✨

Nearly 500 people filled the room for our 2026 Ripples of Love Gala Presented by Massey & Associates to celebrate A Wish Come True and two very special people, Frank and Colleen Duffy, recipients of our 2026 Lifetime Impact Award.

Throughout the night, we shared the story of Frank and Colleen, their daughter Meghan, and the incredible ripple of love their family has created through A Wish Come True.

We shared how Frank and Colleen turned the love they have for their daughter, Meghan, into years of helping children and families. We shared the impact of the Meghan K. Duffy Hardship Fund and our Embracing Families programs, including powerful words directly from wish parents who have received that support.

And we shared something incredibly special. Meghan’s own wish was officially granted as A Wish Come True’s 1,930th wish. Her wish was to create a stuffed animal that could bring comfort to sick children. Today, that wish lives on through Duffy Duck, carrying Meghan’s love to another generation of children.

The night was also filled with moments we will never forget, including Wish Mom Diana Rodrigues joining Billy Gilman to sing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” surrounded by our wish kids and siblings.

To everyone who helped us reach an incredible $725,000, thank you. And to Frank and Colleen, thank you for sharing Meghan with all of us and for allowing her ripple of love to continue through A Wish Come True. 💛
