A few weeks ago, Kesem at Ball State hosted our 10th annual Make the Magic gala and what a night it was! In one evening, with all who helped us, we raised almost 12,000 dollars to help children beyond a parents cancer! We created an environment to share stories with people who understand, a source of endless laughter and smiles, and a reminder of all the people who will always be there for you. From the bottom of our hearts at CKBSU, thank you for your continued support and love you bring our chapter. Here are some of our favorite photos from our evening ✨
