Delivering happiness has always been our mission. Now we’re honored to deliver hope. Through our partnership with Make-A-Wish®, we are helping grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
To understand the incredible impact of a wish, we want to share the story of Stella.
When Stella, age 7, completed her cancer treatments, she wanted to celebrate. This called for more than just cake — she wanted a “Stella-bration” with her friends, family and the incredible nurses and doctors that helped her during her cancer treatments. Make-A-Wish brought Stella’s vision to life, creating a truly memorable celebration after months of grueling treatments. She wanted a carnival-themed party with games, pony rides and a competition where she would finally get to race her dad — a special family tradition that her dad told her could happen once she finished her initial round of treatments.
Adding to the sweetness of the day, Sugarwish delivered a "kid in a candy shop" experience allowing guests to select their favorite candies from the Sugarwish Sweet Shoppe. It was the perfect touch to an already magical "Stella-bration," making sure everyone had a sweet reminder of Stella's incredible milestone.
Life-changing wishes
This incredible celebration lived up to Stella’s vision and then some — and she even won the race against her dad. This one-of-a-kind event was deeply meaningful for Stella and her family. After months of worry while navigating a difficult health diagnosis, they got to enjoy time together while their little girl’s personality shined brightly for all to see.
Make-A-Wish® is a nonprofit that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses like Stella. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, operating in every community in the United States and in nearly 50 countries worldwide.
Together with generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 20,000 volunteers across the U.S., Make-A-Wish delivers hope and joy to children and their families when they need it most.
Make-A-Wish aims to bring the power of a wish to every eligible child because research has shown that wish experiences can help improve emotional and physical health. Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 615,000 wishes worldwide; more than 390,000 wishes in the U.S. and its territories alone.

A Sweet Opportunity To Give Back:
When someone receives a Sugarwish, they have the option to donate their gift to Make-A-Wish. These donations can be converted to cash to help grant future wishes or used to enhance ongoing wish experiences—like adding a special treat to a wish kid’s celebration.
Through this powerful partnership, the Sugarwish community has already raised $2 million for Make-A-Wish and helped enhance thousands of wish kid experiences across the U.S.! That’s where our partnership comes in. As a proud partner of Make-A-Wish, we’re helping make sweet wishes come true.
Make Your Gifting More Meaningful
As you plan your gift-giving, make it meaningful with gifts that provide an opportunity to give back. This sentiment is important in your personal, holiday gift-giving but can be equally meaningful for corporate gifts.
By choosing Sugarwish, you’re not only sending a delightful, personalized experience to a friend, family member, or colleague—you’re also giving them a chance to be part of something bigger. You’re helping to spread joy, hope, and sweetness to brave kids like Stella.
Join us in delivering happiness and hope.
