Make-A-Wish Southern Florida is thrilled to announce the 29th Annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball! The elegant celebration will once again be stewarded by Gala Chair Shareef M. Malnik. Adding to the highly anticipated event this year is his wife - actor, filmmaker, Make-A-Wish Southern Florida Ambassador, and newly appointed Gala Co-Chair - Gabrielle Anwar. The event is set for Saturday, November 2nd 2024, and will be held in collaboration with InterContinental Miami at 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami. This year's gala promises an enchanting experience under the theme “Il Circo: La Madre Della Luce”.

The 2024 ball theme invites guests to immerse themselves in a magical Italian circus, where reality and fantasy converge. The visionary event, orchestrated by Gala Creative Director Maxwell Blandford and executed by DECO Productions, will commence with a grand red-carpet entrance, proceeding to an opulent cocktail reception and high-energy Live Wish Auction. The festivities will also include a gourmet dinner crafted by InterContinental Miami’s Executive Chef Jhonnatan Contreras, and a secret headliner concert. Previous performers have included icons like Diana Ross, John Legend, and STING, promising another memorable surprise this year.

Celebrated as the official launch of Miami’s charity season, the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball stands as a beacon of philanthropy and imagination. Last year’s event raised an astounding $5 million, underscoring the community's unwavering support for Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, an organization dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
