Wine and Wishes 2026

Step into a starlit evening at Wine & Wishes 2026, inspired by the timeless theme When You Wish Upon a Star. This milestone year is extra special as we celebrate 40 years of granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses through Make-A-Wish New Mexico, making every moment of the evening truly enchanting.

Guests will savor an exclusive tasting of two exceptional wines, carefully selected just for this celebration. Beneath a starlit sky and surrounded by a magical atmosphere, every ticket helps bring joy and hope to the next generation of wish kids. Cocktail attire with a touch of celestial charm is encouraged-think star-accented elegance that sparkles throughout the evening.

Raise a glass, make a wish, and be part of a night that's as magical as the wishes it celebrates!

2026 Leadership Committee

The Wine & Wishes Leadership Committee is made up of community leaders and supporters who believe in the power of a wish. Led by Chair Marta Parnall, this volunteer committee has helped us elevate the Wine & Wishes gala, the chapter's signature fundraising event. Members have focused on securing sponsorships, auction items and spreading awareness to help grant more life changing wishes in New Mexico. A BIG thank you to these ladies helping make this night a possibility.
