Ordinary Magic

Join us virtually on Friday, May 7 at 7pm for a magical evening in support of Wilder!

Supporting families and strengthening communities has never been more important. That's why we’re bringing the magic to you!

Join us on May 7, 2021 at 7 p.m. for Ordinary Magic (online) from the comfort of your own home.
Stream our annual celebration and fundraising gala and learn how we are continuing to serve and strengthen our community throughout the pandemic.

This past year has challenged us and demanded new ways of responding to the needs of those in our community deeply affected by the pandemic, financial insecurity and racial injustice.
You'll hear stories of how we’ve shown up with more creativity, empathy and determination to stand strong with families, how our work continues today and get a sneak peek into the future of Wilder’s community impact. Join us in the virtual fun for a magical night in support of Wilder’s mission.
