Changing the Game for Children with Critical Illnesses
Fanatics and Make-A-Wish have joined together to form a first-of-its-kind, game-changing partnership to support sports-related wishes.
Beau's Wish to Meet the 76ers
Fanatics teamed up with the Philadelphia 76ers and Make-A-Wish to give Beau a night he’ll never forget! A lifelong Sixers fan, Beau always wanted to attend a home game in Philly and meet his favorite player, Joel Embiid. With the help of Michael Rubin, Beau’s experience started with being front-and-center for team warm-ups, to sitting courtside and showing off his best dance moves, to sweating it out in the locker room with the likes of Joel, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and others. It was a wish experience Beau, and the Sixers, won’t soon forget!

As soon as Fanatics got word that there would be five wish kids at the MLB All-Star game, they worked to ensure their time in Seattle was extra special. Thanks to colleagues across Fanatics and Topps, our MLB All-Star wish kids experienced their first Pack War, had a private break party where they scored some top-of-the-line trading cards, and even met Felix Rodriguez and received an autographed trading card. They ended their morning with an epic shopping experience at the Fanatics MLB All-Star Store where they loaded up on cool merchandise and memorabilia!
When Fanatics heard we had a HUGE Russell Wilson fan in wish kid Quan, they knew they wanted to help make his wish reveal big. Quan and his family were invited to Fanatics Charity Golf Classic at TPC Sawgrass and had a special friend to receive a special surprise and recorded video just for Quan. Fanatics also surprised Quan with a merchandise bundle so when he headed to Colorado to meet his hero, he had everything he needed to do so in style!

To celebrate our launch, we hosted a wish-granting event in New York City where superstars Tom Brady, Aaron Judge and Jayson Tatum granted wishes for nine inspiring kids. Each wish kid signed an honorary exclusive athlete contract with Fanatics, received their very own custom trading card, participated in a pack war, and then spent the day getting autographs and running drills and skills challenges with their heroes.
Stay tuned as we work together to grant even more epic wishes throughout the rest of the year!
