Partner Highlight Article Banner

When You Wish Upon a Star is proud to be partnering with Fans Chance, a growing competition platform that is helping turn supporters' passion for sport into meaningful support for children living with life-threatening illnesses. Since joining forces earlier this year, both organisations have shared a commitment to creating unforgettable experiences, whether through once-in-a-lifetime sporting prizes or granting magical wishes for children and their families.

By integrating charitable giving into its competitions, Fans Chance is helping raise vital funds to support the charity's work while giving customers the opportunity to enjoy unique sporting experiences. The partnership ensures every competition goes towards helping create special memories for children facing serious illness and their loved ones.

The relationship has already demonstrated a strong alignment between the values of both organisations. As Fans Chance continues to grow, supporting charitable causes remains a key part of its mission.

Founder Ben Popple said: "Our experience working with the When You Wish Upon a Star team has been extremely positive. From the outset, communication has been clear, supportive and collaborative, and the team has been very easy to work with. As a business, it is important to us that the charity element of our competitions feels genuine and meaningful, and the team have helped make that straightforward."

For Fans Chance, one of the most rewarding aspects of the partnership is being able to connect the excitement of sport with a wider purpose. Through each campaign, supporters are not only entering for the chance to win an incredible experience, but also helping contribute towards wishes that create moments of joy and hope for families during difficult times.

Although still a relatively new partner, the team has already been inspired by the stories of the children and families supported by When You Wish Upon a Star.

Ben continues: "What we value most is being able to connect the excitement of winning a sporting experience with something that has a much wider impact. When You Wish Upon a Star gives our competitions a purpose beyond the prize itself. Knowing that each campaign can help contribute towards creating special experiences for children and their families is incredibly important to us. Seeing the stories of the children and families supported by the charity has been incredibly powerful and really brings home the impact that the funds raised through our competitions can have."

Looking to the future, both organisations are excited about growing the partnership and increasing the support provided to the charity as Fans Chance reaches new audiences.

"What makes When You Wish Upon a Star special is the very personal impact behind everything they do. Each wish is centred around the individual child and their family, creating moments of happiness and memories that can mean so much during difficult circumstances. We're really excited about the potential to grow the partnership further as Fans Chance develops and hope that, as our competitions reach more people, we can continue increasing the contribution we make to the charity's work."

As When You Wish Upon a Star continues granting magical wishes, support from partners such as Fans Chance plays a vital role in helping create lasting memories for children and families when they need them most.
