Wine and Wishes 2026

Step into a starlit evening at Wine & Wishes 2026, inspired by the timeless theme When You Wish Upon a Star. Make-A-Wish New Mexico is celebrating 40 years of granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. Come celebrate and make every moment of the evening truly enchanting.

Guests will savor an exclusive tasting of two exceptional wines, carefully selected 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 of 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.
