Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire Raises $300,000 at 10th Annual “It’s in the Bag” Spring Fête
On April 27, 2025, Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire, in partnership with the Women’s Circle of Wishes, hosted the 10th Annual It’s in the Bag Spring Fête — a stylish and spirited event that raised an outstanding $300,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Celebrating a decade of community support and heartfelt giving, the event brought together generous donors, business leaders, and philanthropic supporters for an afternoon of fashion, fundraising, and inspiration. Guests enjoyed curated experiences including silent auctions, luxury handbag raffles, and gourmet refreshments, all in support of bringing hope and joy to local wish kids.
This year’s event was made possible through the generosity of sponsors including Saks Fifth Avenue, Beauty With A Mission, TACORI, and many others who joined in the mission to transform lives through the power of a wish.
The Women’s Circle of Wishes, a dedicated network of women leaders committed to supporting the Make-A-Wish mission, played a central role in the success of the fête. Their passion and advocacy have helped grow this signature event into a key fundraiser over the past ten years.
“We are incredibly thankful to our sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who made this milestone event so meaningful,” said Anne Grey, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire. “The funds raised will directly support wishes for children in our local communities, providing hope and strength when they need it most.”
As the It’s in the Bag Spring Fête celebrates its 10th anniversary, it continues to be a powerful reminder of what a united community can achieve — one wish at a time.
