In honor of Make-A-Wish Connecticut's 40th Anniversary, we are proud to present this one-of-a-kind, handcrafted "Hero" teddy bear. For four decades, our chapter has been transforming lives of Connecticut children, and this bear stands as a heartfelt tribute to every wish granted since our founding.

Custom crafted, Hero Bear features star-patterned ears and a sweet black felt heart nose. He's ready to save the day with his vibrant blue superhero cape crafted specifically for this milestone year, featuring Make-A-Wish Connecticut on the back and our iconic logo on his paw. This special little guy is more than a collector's item; he is a symbol of the legacy we've built together over the last 40 years. He stands tonight as a tribute to the true heroes in this room-those of you whose enduring generosity ensures that our mission continues to shine brightly for the next forty years and beyond.

Generously custom-made and donated by Flora Create - creating memorabilia you cannot "bear" to part with.

The Golden Ticket

Unwrap the magic of a wish!

As we celebrate 40 years of hope at the Once Upon a Wish Gala, your chocolate bar purchase does more than satisfy a sweet tooth-it helps rewrite the reality for Connecticut children facing critical illnesses.

And to show our appreciation, and to "sweeten the deal," four lucky "Wish Bars" contain a Golden Ticket worth 40,000 BreezePoints ($400+ value), generously donated by our "Seriously Nice" partners at Breeze Airways.

To join the hunt, find the Camping Site in the ballroom to purchase your premium chocolate bar. One of our volunteers will hand deliver your candy bar to your seat during dinner.

But, wait for the signal to unwrap the chocolate to see if you've won!

These Golden Tickets can each be used toward flights or to upgrade to Breeze Ascent, the first-class experience featuring elevated comfort with extra-large seats, more legroom and superior recline, plus premium level of service including complimentary snacks and drinks, high-speed Wi-Fi and power at every seat.

Wishes are waiting. Purchase your bar. Join the story. Help us turn "Once Upon a Time" into a life-changing reality!
