Kelly Clarkson has been announced as the headlining performer for the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball, one of the organisation's marquee annual fundraising events scheduled for November 2026.
The gala will feature an evening of performances alongside a reception, dinner service, and silent auction designed to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's mission. Organisers have selected "Crystal Castle" as this year's theme, promising attendees an enchanted atmosphere for the black-tie event.
The milestone gathering marks the 31st edition of the Miami gala and coincides with a broader celebration of the foundation's impact over three decades. Make-A-Wish has raised more than $50 million through the annual ball alone, with funds directed toward granting life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses. To date, the organisation has granted approximately 9,000 wishes to young patients across its service region.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation's work focuses on creating memorable experiences for children battling serious medical conditions, with studies suggesting the emotional and psychological benefits of wish fulfilment contribute to improved patient outcomes and family wellbeing.
