After each visit, we write a little story about the experience, so you get a feel for our impact. Each post also has photos of that visit. Hopefully, you feel what all goes into our activities and how you can plug in.
We brought Queen & Hero for a Day to 5 girls and 5 boys as part of our 19th Anniversary tour. If you’d like t lead our programs in the Atlanta area, apply at foradayfoundation.org/start-a-local-chapter
Peek in to see the variety of trick-or-treating stations we created for the kids of Ronald McDonald House at Gatewood!
In July, we brought Queen & Hero for a Day to both Ronald McDonald House locations in Atlanta, serving over 40 kids!
Winter Wonderland: The volunteers dress up as elves and eavesdrop on the kids telling Santa what they want, and then we do our best to find a gift that matches. Then we load the kids up with as many toys their little arms can handle!
We tried some new activities at this event and had an incredible visit. The children absolutely loved the bouncy house, and many parents reported that the inflatable princess castle energized their usually shy and withdrawn children.
As usual, great success with this event. The kids were a little more rambunctious than usual but we had fun entertaining them before bedtime. We read the entire story time book! Snow White, Cinderella, and Superman were in attendance.
The new chapter hosted its first visit to RMH with five girls and four boys!
