Miracle Day 2025 was nothing short of unforgettable. Almost two decades after our very first Miracle Day, we returned to CIBC for another extraordinary celebration—one filled with generosity, joy, and the power of community. Each year, on the first Wednesday in December, CIBC Capital Markets team donate their fees and commissions to support foundations that uplift children in need across America, and once again, their kindness helped make this day truly miraculous.
This year, we were thrilled to once again welcome the National Dance Institute along with 10 talented young dancers, who lit up the room with their energy, creativity, and heartfelt performances. Kissy Simmons then took the stage, filling the room with beautiful and heartwarming Christmas songs that captivated the entire crowd. Throughout the day, we were also joined by incredible students from multiple foundations and schools across the states of New York and New Jersey, adding even more sparkle and spirit to the event.
The room was buzzing with excitement as our special guests and children laughed, danced, and sang along to some throwback favorites. A standout moment came from Lily, a fearless 4th-grade artist who took the stage to perform her own rap. With confidence beyond her years, she delivered every line flawlessly—earning cheers, applause, and admiration from the entire crowd. Her talent and courage were nothing short of inspiring.
Miracle Day also welcomed an incredible group of celebrity supporters who generously took the time to connect with our guests and students. Their presence added excitement, inspiration, and unforgettable moments throughout the day, creating meaningful memories for the children and everyone in attendance.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us—our partners, supporters, students, families, and friends. Your presence and generosity help fuel the work of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, empowering us to continue making a difference in the lives of children across the country.
Thank you for making Miracle Day 2025 a day to remember. We can’t wait to celebrate with you again next year!
