Looking back on Make the Magic, we’re reminded of just how meaningful this night truly was and how fortunate we are to be part of something so special that continues to show up for our community, year after year.

We’d also like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our incredible Make the Magic coordinators Cupcake, Waves, and McFlurry for the time, creativity, and care they poured into making this event so magical. A special shoutout to our amazing emcees for the evening, Pinkie Pie and Chuckles, for bringing such energy and joy to the night.

We’re so grateful to everyone who supported, attended, and helped bring this event to life. We also appreciate for capturing these moments so beautifully, and Midland Hills Country Club for hosting us.
