Pediatric Cancer Patients Will Be Queens for a Day Through Disney on Ice

The girls, who are being treated at the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, will be treated to a day of pampering on May 15 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

This just in from Lisa Noury of Vistra Communications:

Five girls with pediatric cancer, ages three and four, will become Tampa royalty on Wednesday, May 15, at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Performers from Disney On Ice presents Rockin’ Ever After along with local volunteers from the For a Day Foundation will transform the girls into queens for a day of fun, relaxation and reprieve from their demanding treatments. Each child is receiving ongoing treatment at the Children’s Cancer Center in Tampa.

On that day, the five girls will be presented with their favorite princess ball gown and slippers upon arrival at 10:30 a.m. They will then be taken into a room to make crafts as well as visit individual nail and makeup stations where they will receive a makeover from For a Day Foundation volunteers.

The journey will conclude at the crowning station, where the girls will receive a tiara and scepter as they are guided to their signature ceremony by a Disney On Ice presents Rockin’ Ever After princess. The princess will take photographs with each of the little girls, read them a special story and leave them with empowering and inspiring messages of hope and love.
