Thanks to the generosity of all of our amazing guests, volunteers, and sponsors, we raised over $16,000 for Kesem! This incredible support will allow us to continue to bring the love and joy to those who have been impacted and touched by a parent’s cancer. ✨

Every dollar, every moment, and every person who came together has made such an amazing and lasting impact. You all have helped us create a space where these kids can be kids, surrounded by love and magic. We are beyond grateful for each and every one of you who helped make this event a success. 💙💚✨
