IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM.

OUR STORY

In 2016, two Belmont University students discovered a need for creative entertainment in Nashville area pediatric hospitals. Soon, The Wishes Foundation was sending fairy tale characters to additional underserved industries all with a single priority — inspiring joy.

"These young people are amazing. They donate their time and talent to kids who are suffering. Their costumes and character portrayals are so professional. We need more young people like this in our world!

Customer Review

I just loved the way the performers sat on the floor and played with the sweet kiddos at the Winter Wonderland party! It was just so precious the way they were able to engage children who were at first hesitant to engage.
