 ABOUT YACHT BLAST FOR KIDS

Since its Inception in 2009, Yacht Blast for Kids has granted 279 wishes for deserving wish children through Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin. Each year, nearly 40 Make-A-Wish kids and their families are invited out on some of Milwaukee's premier  yachts for an amazing morning on the water - followed by an afternoon picnic with games, magician, raffles, auctions, face painting and more.

Join us at the Milwaukee Yacht Club at 11:30am for all of the fun. Tickets can be purchased at yachtblast.givesmart.com.

For questions, please contact Kelsey Rice at krice@wisconsin.wish.org.

 ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH

Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin grants wishes to children 2.5-18 years old, who are living with critical illnesses. Since their founding in 1984, more than 7,700 children and their families throughout the state have experienced the life-changing power of a wish. 

Due to the pandemic more than 450 Wisconsin wish kids are waiting for their wish to be granted. Make-A-Wish staff are hard at work, granting the wishes that can be fulfilled at this time and preparing for the many wishes that will need to be granted once we are through this season.

A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their critical illnesses. For many, the wish marks a turning point in the fight against their illnesses. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals say, the wish experience works in concert with medicine to make their patients feel better emotionally and even physically. You can help change a child's life by participating in Yacht Blast For Kids.
