Queen for a Day is an organization that caters to pediatric cancer patients. It give these children one day to be queen/king over their cancer! During the event we pamper the girls by giving them "makeovers" with nail polish and lipstick, they also get to play dress up in costumes of their choosing. The great thing about the event was that the girls were given sashes (donated from www.sashedesigns.com) and a crown of their own to keep. The boys were "crowned" with firefighter hats and a sash that labeled them as "kings", they were not considered queens for a day but "Heroes for a Day". The Dallas fire department came to show the children their fire truck, and to talk about being a real hero! It was such a good time to get these children's mind off the other issues that they are dealing with. I had crowns that were sitting on my shelves collecting dust, I was honored to donate 3 of them to young patients that will treasure it. If any former queens have crowns that are not being used, please think of contacting your local "Queen for a Day" and donating them to a pediatric patient, it will definitely bring a smile to their face! :) www.qfad.org
