Storybook Spotlight: The Heroes Behind the Story
The Children You Are Celebrating
Every child involved in this gala carries a story of extraordinary strength.
Some are in treatment.
Some are in recovery.
Some are siblings who have stood beside them every step of the way.
What they all share is this:
They deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered as more than what they have endured.
These brave children are at the heart of everything we do.
Our team will guide you every step of the way.

Why Attend the Enchanted Hope Gala
Behind every storybook moment and magical experience is a child and family facing an incredibly difficult journey. Serious illness affects not only the child, but siblings, parents, and entire families.
The Enchanted Hope Gala raises essential funds to create story-based programs, comfort resources, and meaningful experiences that help children feel brave, connected, and supported during treatment and beyond.
Your support ensures that no child faces illness alone — and that families are reminded there is hope, even on the hardest days.

How Your Support Creates Real Impact
Enchanted Hope Foundation is a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit, which means 100% of proceeds from the Enchanted Hope Gala go directly to our programs – not overhead.
Funds raised from the gala support our Enchanted Bookshelf Project, an initiative bringing permanent, storybook-inspired bookshelves into children’s hospitals and POGO clinics. Each shelf is filled with Enchanted Hope storybooks, activity books, and comforting plush companions – all free for children and families to take home.
These books and resources off comfort during long hospital days, give siblings a voice, and remind families that courage, imagination, and hope still exist – even in the hardest moments.
By supporting the Enchanted Hope Gala, you are helping transform one magical evening into lasting emotional support for children and families facing serious illness.
