Make-A-Wish Central New York Prepares for 2017 Sugarman Law Firm Wish Ball

Syracuse, NY (August 10, 2017)—

Make-A-Wish Central New York is gearing up for its annual Sugarman Law Firm Wish Ball, a gala event to support wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

This year’s masquerade-themed ball will take place Sept. 16, 2017 from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at The Oncenter, 800 South State Street, Syracuse. The evening features a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, and a program celebrating wishes. Other highlights include a wine pull, silent auction, high-end basket raffle, and entertainment provided by the “Jess Novak Band.”

Featured speaker for the event is wish kid Tim Conners, whose wish to meet blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer (www.touchthetop.com) came true in 2012. From fighting for his life and losing his vision to cancer, to experiencing a wish-come-true, to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Tim knows well the impact a wish can have on a child in the midst of illness and treatment. He will share his powerful and inspiring journey at Wish Ball, and convey his message to those facing daunting challenges: You are not your circumstances, and with perseverance you will succeed. To view video clips of Tim’s Mount Kilimanjaro climb – an event inspired by his 2012 wish – visit www.mountimpossible.com.

During Wish Ball, Make-A-Wish Central New York will also honor All American Limousine and financial advisor Randall J. Powers for their ongoing support in making wishes come true.

Tickets are $150 and can be purchased by calling (315) 475-WISH or emailing info@makeawishcny.org. Reservations must be made by Sept. 6.

Wish Ball is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors, including Sugarman Law Firm, Carrols, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.
