The Los Angeles Rams and Make-A-Wish Central Coast and Southern Central Valley (CVS) teamed up once again for the eighth annual Rams Night for Wishes, an evening dedicated to raising critical funds to grant life-changing wishes for children battling serious illness.

Held at the exclusive Sherwood Country Club, the event united current Rams players, community leaders, and fans for a night filled with inspiration, entertainment, and generosity. Rams Legend, 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year and Super Bowl LVI Champion Andrew Whitworth returned as Master of Ceremonies.

"The real championships, to me, happen off the field. It's opportunities like this where wins and losses don't matter, making a significant impact on a family that needs it, does," said Whitworth.

The event welcomed over 400 guests, 16 Rams players, and 14 Wish kids, raising more than $700,000 in sponsorships and donations for Make-A-Wish CVS. These donations will help grant wishes for many more children who are waiting for their wish to come true.

One of the highlights of the night was the 'Denim After Dark' fashion show, featuring Make-A-Wish kids and the 2025 Rams Rookies. The show was inspired by Wish kid Brendan, whose dream was to pursue fashion design. With the support of Rams partner PacSun, Brendan created his own fashion items showcased during the event.

"The night was inspired by Brendan, his wish was to receive two sewing machines which turned into an entire fashion wish," said Pattie Mullins, CEO of Make-A-Wish® Tri-Counties.

The Rams 2025 captains were running backs Blake Corum and Kyren Williams, tight end Tyler Higbee, and safety Quentin Lake who served as judges of the fashion show, while the rookie class walked alongside Make-A-Wish kids on the runway. Corum reflected on the importance of the evening, saying, "It means everything to give back with the Rams, especially giving back to our community because community is all you have."

For Brendan the experience was nothing short of surreal. "Being able to get that was so surreal. All of this is extra... being the featured kid, the sewing equipment so I can pursue design and getting to tour PacSun and see what it's truly like to work in the fashion industry. It means everything," he shared.

Adding to the excitement, Rams Cheerleaders and mascot Rampage participated in the evening festivities supporting the fundraising efforts and interacting with attendees. The event also featured a live and silent auction and activities.

Since its founding in 1985, Make-A-Wish® Tri-Counties grants wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Each year, over 100 children are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and desperately need the positive experience that a wish provides. To date, Rams Night for Wishes has granted more than 240 wishes and raised nearly $5 million.
