Make-A-Wish, Fanatics, and WWE partnered during WrestleMania 42 weekend to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 27 wish kids in Las Vegas, highlighted by personalized WrestleMania-style Superstar entrances with The Miz and Liv Morgan. (Scroll down to see the video)
Each child was surprised and announced by The Miz and Liv Morgan during their own personalized Superstar entrance, complete with custom music, graphics, and a true WrestleMania-style presentation. The experience took place at WWE World, where Fanatics hosted the group and provided each wish kid with a private shopping experience at the WWE World Superstore, $200 to spend, and custom trading cards created specifically for them.
April is World Wish Month, the time of year when the Make-A-Wish community comes together to invite the world to join its mission. According to Make-A-Wish, it takes more than 50 WishMakers to bring a single wish to life.
This marks the third consecutive year that Fanatics and Make-A-Wish have partnered to elevate WrestleMania weekend for wish kids and their families. Since launching its partnership with Make-A-Wish in October 2023, Fanatics has helped bring more than 900 sports-related wishes to life.
Make-A-Wish grants life-changing wishes that help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to face critical illnesses. The organization says experiences like this can be a game-changer, restoring joy and a sense of normalcy for families when they need it most.
Fanatics is the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish.
