Wish Sponsors receive:

A recognition plaque, and the opportunity to name the new display, in dedication or in memory.

A huge thank you to Manual Medicine for adopting one of the most meaningful displays in Dunnville — our “Hometown Hockey Hero,” Nathan Horton.

Nathan Horton represents pride, grit, and hometown spirit — a young athlete who grew up right here in Dunnville, went on to the NHL, and continues to inspire local players and families today. Manual Medicine’s adoption of this display couldn’t be more fitting. Their commitment to helping people move better, heal stronger, and live healthier aligns perfectly with the story of a dedicated athlete who worked hard, overcame challenges, and made our community proud on a national stage.

Because of supporters like Manual Medicine, we’re able to maintain and grow our holiday light displays, honouring the people and stories that make Dunnville special — and bringing joy to thousands of residents and visitors throughout the season.
