OUR MISSION
Helping kids be kids
Elisa’s Greatest Wishes was created to honor the memory and wishes of 10 year old Elisa Nelson whose abduction and murder not only made national news, but forever changed life in sleepy little Palm Harbor, Florida.
Donations that impact our Community
It was in Elisa’s nature to help others, your donations help by raising money for things such as purchasing books for school libraries, funding scholarships and providing financial support to Girl Scouts, youth athletics, animal charities and organizations that help sick children
Our Upcoming Events
We are excited to announce the 10th Annual Palm Harbor Spring Fling for Elisa's Greatest Wishes. Please join us on May 30, 2026, at Pop Stansell Park in historic downtown Palm Harbor as Elisa’s Greatest Wishes, the Palm Harbor Chamber of Commerce, the Palm Harbor Merchants, and Mainstreet Palm Harbor have teamed up to bring back Parrothead. Help us to continue Elisa’s legacy of ‘Helping Kids be Kids’ as we raise money for our adopted charities, including Feast Food Pantry, who will be there collecting non-perishable food items.
With your help over the last several years, we have been able to help countless children in the Palm Harbor area and beyond by raising nearly $2M for our 25+ adopted charities and we hope you will continue to help us do so.
“if I had three wishes …
these would be my greatest wishes.”
— Elisa Nelson
