Friends, golfers and sponsors who participate in the “Fairfield Wish Invitational” year after year help to bring hope, strength and joy to children from Fairfield County who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. The event brings an array of people from all around Fairfield County and the state of Connecticut for an outstanding day of golf, food, stories, and most importantly, the selfless cause of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Fairfield Wish Invitational has raised more than $245,000 in its over 15 years of hard work towards granting the wishes of local Wish children. Please help us in our mission and share the power of a wish.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Wish-come-true experiences can do wonders by providing a much-needed break from lengthy hospital stays and medical treatments. They give back to a child what a serious medical condition can take away—the chance to simply enjoy being a kid, choose something that will inspire happiness and spend precious time with their families.

The Connecticut chapter has made more than 2,000 wishes come true since its inception in 1986. Learn more about Connecticut wishes at www.ct.wish.org, or join Make-A-Wish on Facebook (search Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut, Inc.)
