| Kelsey's Princess Party by Mary Turina |
 |
“Since she won’t have a prom or a wedding, I just want my little Kelsey to have a princess party.”
Those were the words spoken by 4-year old Kelsey’s Mom, Andrea, as she talked with our Bev Tollefson, Director of CCA's LifeSupport Family Enrichment Program, about a very special wish for her terminally ill daughter. Bev pulled out all the stops, and, thanks to the generosity of many of you, Kelsey enjoyed a princess party for 100 + of her family and friends, complete with a visit from Cinderella! Kelsey’s magical day began with a limo ride from home to the salon, where her family enjoyed pampering in preparation for the big party. Beautiful princess gowns and tuxedos were donned, and then Kelsey’s coach drove her and her entourage to the Embassy Suites where she was crowned Princess Kelsey by Cinderella! The color pink was everywhere from the beautiful floral centerpieces, to the lovely cake and decor! Princess Kelsey and her guests danced the night away, while enjoying her personally selected menu of goldfish crackers, sour cream & onion Pringles, cookies, Sprite, Bug Juice, and Burger King burgers, fries and chicken nuggets (all food was generously donated by Burger King & Albertsons). At the end of the evening, a tired Kelsey cuddled up with Mommy and gave her a special surprise – a beautiful silver locket with Kelsey’s picture inside. For both Mom and daughter, it was a magical night to remember.
Thank you for making this special memory!
Warmly,
Mary Turina, CCA's President & C.O.O.
