More than 600 guests gathered to celebrate Wish Upon A Wedding’s work in granting weddings
to couples facing terminal illness or life-altering circumstances. The Moulin Rouge-themed gala
featured a runway show of gowns from BHLDN, a seated dinner and live entertainment from
BeatMix Music. Executive director Rikki Billett presented the Shining Star Awards to Laurie
Hardman, Tionna Van Gundy and Dr. Summer Dewdney, who was instrumental in helping save
the life of WUW wish recipient Angela Andrews. Special thanks to additional vendor partners:
