Wedding Wishes is a program offered by the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Hudson Valley where the bride and groom can make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Hudson Valley in lieu of wedding or bridal shower favors.

Your gift can make a wonderful difference in the life of a child who is living with a life-threatening medical condition. Most children have a lifetime ahead to experience the joy of having dreams come true again and again, but a child facing a life-threatening medical condition is uncertain of his or her future.

Transforming dreams into realities for children who live with the challenges of life-threatening medical conditions is what Make-A-Wish® is all about. Last year the Hudson Valley Chapter granted the wishes of 117 children. We anticipate granting more than 125 wishes in this current year. Your donation will help us accomplish this.

All donations support that work. More than 80% of all donations go directly to our Wish-Granting program. Because the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Hudson Valley is a 501(c)(3) organization, donations are tax deductible.

For your donation, we will provide the bride and groom with their choice of the following:

Wedding:

1. Plate Card: $2.50 per guest
2. Tent Card: $2.50 per guest
3. Framed, personalized announcement for Guest Book Table (minimum donation of $300 and above).

Bridal Shower:

• Tent Card: $2.50 per guest
