The hero within

Dan and Beth Bellow (pictured) were honorary chairs for the Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana gala at The Post Oak Hotel. More than 650 supporters attended the record-breaking 2025 Make-A-Wish Gala, The Hero Within, honoring long-time board member Mandy S. Williams and raising $1.8 million to provide wishes for children with critical illnesses. Emcee Melissa Wilson, whose son, Caleb, was diagnosed 12 years ago with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, led the evening. Accompanying his mom, Caleb came to the podium and spoke about the impact Make-A-Wish had on him and his family. The highlight of the evening was the arrival of Batman in the Batmobile, surprising Wish Kid Adonis with his favorite hero.
