Miami, FL – November 2, 2024 – An elegant, over-the-top night of fundraising and giving back, the 29th Annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball celebrates the remarkable journey of both Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida and InterContinental® Miami. This year’s event welcomed guests to “Il Circo: La Madre Della Luce,” and transported guests into a fantastical Italian circus, where the lines between reality and imagination blur. The evening began with a lavish cocktail reception featuring the event’s renowned silent auction, followed by a multi-course gourmet dinner prepared by InterContinental® Miami Executive Chef Jhonnatan Contreras. As dessert is served, Anwar’s high-energy Live Wish Auction ignited the room, offering attendees the chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of children.

The star-studded event was accompanied by the 2024 McLaren Artura which was auctioned and helped raise over $70,000 for the Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida foundation. The unforgettable evening featured an exclusive private performance by the iconic Gwen Stefani. THE COLLECTION is honored to support Make-A-Wish in turning dreams into reality and creating life-changing moments for children in need.
