Through the 123Wish marketplace, users can access premium videos and limited edition merchandise and enter to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences supporting social causes.
“We’re excited to create a platform that gives people from all over the world a chance to win incredible opportunities and at the same time, do good and empower our youth through contribution,” said 123Wish Co-Founder and CEO, Natalia Diaz Weissman. “Our goal is to generate awareness for our charity partners by collaborating with renowned influencers to harness their power to make a difference and inspire our next generations to contribute - we’re thrilled to launch the first app that offers this.”
Uniquely focused on Gen Z and millennial audiences, 123Wish offers members an opportunity to engage in their dream experiences.

“I’m excited to be teaming up with 123Wish to help drive awareness to important causes and engage with my fans in new ways,” said YouTube super influencer Jake Paul. “With everything going on in our world, it’s crucial that we encourage our younger generations to always help whenever and wherever they can.”
“Growing up in a military town, I know first-hand how hard it is for these kids to not know where their parents are and when they are coming back home,” said actor and Nickelodeon star, Jace Norman. “I’m teaming up with 123Wish to do what I can to support www.SEALkids.org and hopefully inspire youth from all over that giving back is cool.”
123Wish subscribers will receive one free entry to enter any experiences of their choosing and gain access to influencer content and limited edition merchandise, such as capsule collections and collaborations with influencers, and receive discounts on exclusive merchandise and events.
