Our Sparkles of Joy program provides families with a local support system, as well as exciting, immune-friendly experiences which allow the entire family to create positive, life-long memories. These experiences are perfect for kids who may not be cleared to travel for their Big Wish yet, or for a family who could benefit from some quality time together. Sparkles of Joy may include a private visit to Dave and Busters, the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, the Children’s Museums in Cleveland and Akron, and so many other incredible opportunities for the family. The Sparkles of Joy program is completely customizable. Wish families may request local experiences which cater to the interests of their kiddos, creating unforgettable memories.

The Sparkles of Joy program was created because our first wish child, Siberious, wanted to visit Dave and Busters, but could not due to the crowds and germs. A Special Wish Northeast Ohio contacted Dave and Busters who graciously agreed to open early and allowed Siberious to enjoy being a kid!

The Sparkles of Joy program includes monthly wish family events which allow families to meet each other and connect at an exclusive, kid-friendly event held in partnership with our incredible local community partners. Families especially look forward to the annual Summer Bash and Holiday Drive-Thru events.
