Make-A-Wish UAE is proud to announce ‘Rhymes & Wishes,’ a distinguished poetry fundraising gala set to take place on May 2, 2025, at the iconic Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
Hosted under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, Advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates, the event aligns with the declaration of 2025 as the Year of Community and the UNESCO centenary celebration honoring the legacy of renowned Emirati poet Al Owais.
Open to the public, the gala invites individuals, poetry lovers, philanthropists, patrons of the arts, and organizations to purchase tickets and be part of a unique night where words carry the power to transform lives. All proceeds from the gala will go toward granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses through the Make-A-Wish UAE Foundation.
At its heart, Rhymes & Wishes is a tribute to the intersection of artistic expression and meaningful giving — where poetry becomes a voice for hope, highlighting stories of resilience and the individuals whose contributions make a meaningful impact on children’s lives across the UAE.
Taking center stage will be His Royal Highness Prince Abdulrahman Bin Musa’ad Bin Abdel Aziz, a celebrated poet known for his innovative contributions to Arabic literature and his unwavering commitment to philanthropy. His performance promises to be a powerful highlight of the evening, as his eloquent and emotionally resonant verses—shaped by his early memorization of the Holy Quran—continue to inspire with their lyrical depth and cultural richness.
The evening will also honor both His Royal Highness Prince Abdulrahman Bin Musa’ad Bin Abdel Aziz and the event’s Platinum Sponsors for their support and contributions to poetry and philanthropy.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations looking to make a tangible difference in the lives of children with critical illnesses. By sponsoring Rhymes & Wishes, partners will not only support a noble cause, but also gain exposure through national TV broadcasts, coverage in leading publications, strategic digital and social media campaigns, and influencer engagement. Sponsorship packages offer exclusive benefits including VIP seating, prominent branding, and national recognition.
Since its establishment in 2010, Make-A-Wish UAE Foundation has granted over 7,700 wishes, each one a testament to the generous impact of community support. Rhymes & Wishes is more than an event, it is a call to action and an opportunity for the community to unite in support of children, celebrating hope through the power of poetry.
