Description

We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization setting out to make a difference in the lives of local children faced with life threatening and terminal illnesses.  Our goal is to make magical moments for these children that turn into forever memories for not only the child, but also their family who is experiencing this journey with them. It is about the magical moment of the here and now that turns into the forever memories especially in the instant one of these children looses their fight to the illness.  Our mission is to provide events for these children with our major endeavor being an annual holiday extravaganza where these children can put their illness behind them for a moment in time to just “be a kid”.  It doesn't matter if they are in a wheel chair or have no hair, because there are others there that share similar circumstances. From entertainment of Woody Wolfe, Aaron Kelly (season 9 American Idol finalist), magicians, Kingdom Kidz puppets, to professional photographers, photo booths, crafts,games, balloon creations, superheroes, and so much more….we go above and beyond to make this a fun filled day with memories galore for the children and families to take with them.  As we grow, we are expanding to include more family oriented events throughout  the year with the addition of a Knoebels day for the children this year.  Many of these children receive “wishes” from wish granting organizations, but when their wish is completed, they no longer have that special moment of excitement and fun to look forward to but yet their illness continues as well as their hositalizations, treatments etc.  It is our goal to provide yearly events for these children so they have that “magic” to continue with them as they continue to deal with their illness.  

Our upcoming event is our main event of the year, as mentioned above. Last year we had over 500 in attendence with children and their families.  There is NO charge for families to attend, we use profit from the auctions to help cover costs of this event.
