Thirty-seven Kosair Kids had the experience of a lifetime at The Kentucky Castle in Versailles, where they were treated like royalty by Kosair for Kids. The second-ever Kosair Kids Princess Tea treated girls of differing abilities to pampering and a tea party with their favorite princesses. Their Fairy Godmother Elise (a generous Kosair for Kids donor) provided princess dresses for each of the girls and sent them a special message through a “magic mirror”.
All of the princesses treated on Sunday have received some form of assistance from the region’s most comprehensive children’s charity, Kosair for Kids. Some in attendance today have battled cancer, others receive assistance with differing forms of therapy or medical equipment that allows them to live life to the fullest.
At this event, the Kosair Kids received tiaras, costume jewelry, a doll of their favorite character, and other presents when they arrived for the morning. The University of Kentucky Dance Team then provided pampering, doing the hair, makeup, and nails of the princesses.
A pink carpet led the way into the ballroom, where the tea awaited. But first, a surprise visit from Disney princesses who taught their fans to twirl and then lead story time.
It was a day the girls won’t soon forget. Kosair Kid Sophia explained why it was so special to her. “Well, I’ve been able to have fun and meet other people who are just like me, and that makes my heart happy,” the ten-year-old said with a smile.
