Thanks to YOU, we're nearly 60% to our goal!
To our incredible A Moment of Magic donors:
Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve raised $886 (and counting!) toward bringing more joy, hope, and laughter to children facing serious illnesses. Your generosity fuels everything we do - from magical visits and Bravery Bags to the training that prepares our volunteers to lead with compassion and care.
Recently, our executive board gathered for our Fall Leadership Retreat, themed around Accountability. It was an inspiring weekend of growth, connection, and reflection for our Magic Makers.
We were honored to learn from three incredible guest speakers who helped strengthen our leadership and teamwork:
- Omoanatse McCarther, Workforce Strategist and Engagement Architect, led us in a powerful session on collaboration, trust, and communication.
- Maddi Stanton-Johnson, National Operations Manager for A Moment of Magic Foundation, shared an empowering message on authentic leadership and accountability.
- Bridget Rogers, Express, Create, Heal Manager for A Moment of Magic Foundation and a medical student at Nova Southeastern University, closed out the retreat with an engaging session on creativity, pediatric care, and mental wellness.
It’s because of supporters like you that our Magic Makers can continue growing as leaders and spreading magic across our community. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us restore childhood - one magical moment at a time.
You can help us reach even more children by sharing our project with your friends and family!
