A Child's Wish
2027 Gala Night
We work closely with families, healthcare providers, and communities to fulfill the unique wishes of children with terminal illnesses.
Ashlyn's Wish at 180 mph
In August 2026 A Child's Wish went racing. Spencer Boyd carried the foundation's colors on the No. 76 NASCAR Craftsman Series truck at Richmond Raceway, with Ashlyn's name above the window — and Ashlyn and her family on pit road to see it all.
Ashlyn met Spencer beside the truck, posed with the No. 76 on the grid, and watched her name race under the lights at Richmond.
Thank you for giving Ashlyn a night she will never forget.
Thank you to the crew and partners who put A Child's Wish on the truck.
Thank you for welcoming Ashlyn and her family to the track.
A Night of Hope, Remembered
The 2026 Wish Gala and Silent Auction filled the room at Magnanini Winery: Grammy winner Jimmy Sturr and his orchestra, a silent auction, dinner, dancing — and wish children called up on stage to receive their gifts.
The highlight of the night: our wish children and their families joining Jimmy Sturr on stage to receive their gifts in front of a full house.
Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, bid, and danced the night away.
Thank you for a performance the room will talk about all year.
Dream Makers, Hope Givers and Joy Bringers — every wish starts with you.
Save the date: the 2027 Wish Gala is Saturday, October 2nd, 2027.
What a Great Day on the Field!
Our Co-Ed Slow Pitch Charity Softball Tournament has officially wrapped up, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible support from our community, teams, sponsors, and volunteers. The event was a tremendous success, helping us continue to spread awareness of the Foundation's mission throughout the community.
A special highlight of the day was Ashlynn throwing out the ceremonial first pitch — a memorable moment for everyone in attendance. We were also fortunate that the weather cooperated, allowing the tournament to be enjoyed from start to finish.
Thank you to every team who took the field and brought the energy and competitive spirit.
Thank you for keeping players and fans fueled throughout the day.
Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer on the players and support the cause. Your participation and generosity made this event possible.
We appreciate everyone who helped make this year's tournament such a success, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
