The Make-A-Wish awards are presented at the annual Wishing Well Winter Gala, where entertainment executives, celebrities, top business executives, community and civic leaders, medical professionals and philanthropists celebrate the children and families whose lives have been changed forever by the power of a wish. Hosted by two-time Emmy winner and EXTRA host Mario Lopez, the Gala will honor the heroes of Make-A-Wish - Oscar-nominated actor Robert Downey, Jr. (Shining Star Award), entertainment industry power broker and multi-media entrepreneur Scooter Braun (Humanitarian Award) and the Los Angeles Kings (Power of A Wish Award). This magical night to remember will include a special performance by Grammy-nominated singer Tori Kelly, rock bands X Ambassadors and Bush, a cocktail hour, seated dinner, celebrity host, awards presentation and silent/live auctions.

During the past three years, these meaningful events have collectively raised almost $3 million for wish kids living in Greater Los Angeles. Past honorees include sports stars Kobe Bryant, Landon Donovan and Oscar de la Hoya; philanthropists Sam Nazarian and Michael Rosenfeld; and medical pioneers Children's Hospital Los Angeles, OneLegacy and Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. Event proceeds will go towards granting wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions in Greater Los Angeles. This year, the Los Angeles chapter will grant 350 wishes - and there are nearly twice as many eligible children waiting their turn.
