Over three hundred people will gather at the 15th Anniversary of the Ocean Beach Volleyball Tournament and Wish Family Picnic at Ocean Beach Park in New London on Sunday, June 2nd at 9:00AM! Come join us for a day at the beach filled with food, music, volleyball, and of course, our Wish kids & families!

Co-ed volleyball teams from around the state will compete once again to raise funds to benefit Make-A-Wish Connecticut. Teams are asked to be there by 9:00AM. Also in conjunction with the tournament every year is the Annual Wish Family Picnic Hosted by Ocean Beach, which will begin at 11:00AM. Wish families from across Connecticut gather to celebrate a fun-filled day at the beach and share their Make-A-Wish experiences as a community.

“We are incredibly grateful to all who support the Make-A-Wish Foundation and helping us “share the power of a wish”.  Through the hard work and dedication of Tom Bombria and his team, the success of this tournament and day of honor continues to make wishes come true for courageous Connecticut children year after year.”

About the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Connecticut, Inc. 
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Connecticut grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.  Wish-come-true experiences can do wonders by providing a much-needed break from lengthy hospital stays and medical treatments. They give back to a child what a serious medical condition can take away—the chance to simply enjoy being a kid, choose something that will inspire happiness, and spend precious time with their families. The Connecticut chapter has made over 2,200 wishes come true since its inception in 1986.
