Make-A-Wish launch trees of Joy this festive season

Make-A-Wish Australia has launched its Trees of Joy event in Australia. Trees of Joy, originating in Make-A-Wish Canada, is an event that brings together corporate sponsors with wish kids and their families to make more wishes come true.

The event will create a unique opportunity for supporters to meet the wish kids they have been paired with, hear their stories, and celebrate their courage.

Make-A-Wish Australia say It will be a heartwarming day that brings inspirational communities together and creates unforgettable memories for all involved. Following the event, the trees will be delivered to the homes of wish families for them to keep forever.

Trees of Joy will take place on 29 November at Sheraton Melbourne, and registration is now open until 21 October with limited spots available. Investment to sponsor a tree is $4500 (excl. GST), which includes 10 tickets for corporate partners to use and form a ‘tree decoration team’.

Make-A-Wish relies on the support of its donors and business partners to grant life-changing wishes to critically ill children. Currently, there are 900 children on their Wish Journey in Australia.

Make-A-Wish Australia CEO Sally Bateman said, “We are delighted to launch Trees of Joy to Australia. This event is a wonderful opportunity to bring wish families, our corporate partners, and community together, to spread hope and joy during the festive season and help grant future wishes to children with critical illnesses.”
