Wishes, Wine and Brew Event 2022

Thanks to everyone who supported us for our signature event–Wishes, Wine and Brew–which was held on Monday, June 30!

This event was once again held at Indian Creek Winery in Kuna; we thank them for making a cold, wet, windy day so inviting inside their winery facility.  A special thanks to  Indian Creek Winery, Fujishin Family Cellars, Vizcaya Winery, Williamson Orchards and Vineyards, Mother Earth Brew Co., Crescent Brewery, Mad Swede Brewing Company, Boise Brewing, Windy’s Whip & Drizzle, Chowobunga and  Blaze and Kelly.  Also a special thank you to Baker Auction for making a fun and memorable auction.

Granting Wishes

Wish Granters is a nonprofit organization located in Boise, Idaho. Here, we make a lasting impact in the lives of Idaho families by granting wishes to adults who have been diagnosed with a non-age-related terminal illness, or potentially terminal illness.

Most of these wishes are heartfelt; being able to touch, feed, and watch your family ride a Clydesdale horse; or as simple as a Wish Bag full of items that allow the recipient the comfort, independence, and dignity that they deserve.

Wish Granters Mission

Wish Granters mission is to improve the quality of life of terminally ill Idaho adults and their primary caregivers, by granting them wishes and by supporting projects in their local communities, thereby providing opportunities for these adults and their loved ones to have lasting memories to cherish forever.
Wish Granters is the only adult wish-granting organization in Idaho currently serving Ada, Canyon, and Gem Counties. Wish Granters does not receive any State or Federal funding and relies on donations from our generous community members, businesses, peer to peer fundraisers, and fundraisers.

A shout out to our recent wish recipients and their family members. These are a few photos of recent wishes.  Our Wish Program continues to provide wishes to adults facing a terminal illness.

Granting Wishes, Giving Hope and Creating Lasting Memories. Thank you for your continued support.

 

Family of four by waterfall

Kate’s wish wish was to go to Hawaii with her family.  The family had a wonderful time and in their words made “SO many memories.”

 

Famly standing next to cartoon characters

Kat’s wish was to go to Disneyland and Universal Studios with her family, but we lost her before it could happen.  She had wanted her family to be part of this wish and we made that happen.

 

Two women displaying wedding ring

Kristy’s Wish was to have matching rings for herself and her wife.  Unfortunately, Kristy passed away before the wish could be completed, but we still got the ring Kristy had picked out and gave it to her wife.  She was ecstatic.

 

Four people on a boat on a lake

Ina’s wish was to take a trip to McCall with her family.  She also wanted to do some fishing while she was there.  Our thanks go out to the Atkinson family who took her fishing on a pontoon boat on Cascade Lake and to DoneRight Management who donated the cabin for Ina and her family.
