These experiences ranged from dream vacations and music gear to new mobility tools and even a 1,000-tree planting initiative—each one uniquely meaningful to the child and their family.
“Our partnership with Make-A-Wish reflects our values in a powerful way,” said Allison Hablinski, Vice President of Marketing at NOV. “Together, we helped create moments of light for families who needed them most.”
Megan’s Welcome Home
After a wildlife-filled adventure in Sarasota, Megan returned to a warm surprise from NOV’s Conroe team. To celebrate her homecoming, the team hosted a special welcome featuring painting kindness rocks, thoughtful conversations about her favorite Sarasota activities, and a presentation of canvas photos from her trip. Her adventure was full of memorable moments, from dolphin sightings and exploring nature to the unforgettable experience of lemur yoga.
Allie’s Disney Sendoff
Allie’s wish to meet her favorite princesses came true with a magical trip to Disney World. Before her adventure began, NOV hosted a special sendoff at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, complete with a castle and balloon backdrop, a princess tent, and crown decorating activities. The celebration set the stage for an unforgettable week filled with character visits, dress-up days, and memories she’ll treasure forever.
RJ’s Hawaii Adventure
RJ, who loves the ocean, traveled to Hawaii with his family for a memorable adventure. His trip included relaxing beach time, guided tours, and opportunities to experience new things in a beautiful island setting. Before departing, RJ’s surprise wish reveal took place at this year’s Derricks & Diamonds Softball Tournament, where players, guests, families, and NOV employees gathered to celebrate him. The celebration also featured an educational wildlife show, giving RJ and many other kids the chance to touch and interact with a variety of reptile species.
Other wishes included a Terrain Hopper for Annabelle, a guitar for Jose, dream vacations for several children, a new puppy for Jamal, a shopping spree for Rony, and a community tree-planting initiative led by wish kid Aria. NOV teams supported each wish through funding, event hosting, and volunteer efforts.
Wishes supported through NOV’s 2025 sponsorship:
As we look ahead, we remain committed to helping create even more moments of hope, joy, and lasting impact for the children and families Make-A-Wish serves.
