A Night of Magic Masquerade Hosted by AMoM WVU
A Night of Magic Masquerade will be the largest fundraiser that the West Virginia University chapter has ever held. This will serve as a chance for our community to learn about A Moment of Magic and dance the night away with your loved ones. While you are here you will have the opportunity to take pictures with any of our three back-drops, a chance to win raffle baskets, bid on a silent auction items and dine on a delicious meal.
Please note, this event will be a dry event with no alcohol served.
The Mission
A Moment of Magic Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to improve the quality of life of vulnerable and underserved children and inspire them to be brave, strong, and fearless through fun and engaging social wellness activities.
The Need
Every 60 seconds a child is in need of medical care. Traumatic experiences can initiate strong emotions and physical reactions that can persist long after the event. While many possible coping mechanisms exist, the most prominent - and powerful - in childhood is play. Medically vulnerable children demonstrate a greater need to play because of the stress generated by unfamiliar environments, unpredictable schedules, painful experiences, and mobility restrictions due to illness or treatment.
