Mission
At A Moment of Magic, we believe that every child deserves the chance to experience the wonder of childhood—especially those that are medically vulnerable. Through moments of joy, connection, and creativity, we help restore what illness and adversity often take away: a sense of normalcy, confidence, and hope.

We meet children in the hardest moments of their lives with joy, imagination, and healing-centered support that helps them feel like kids again. Through hospital visits, community programming, and our Express, Create, Heal mental health initiative, we meet children and families where they are with play, presence, and purpose.

Whether it’s a magical hospital bedside visit, a trauma-informed arts workshop, or a brave moment of laughter in the face of fear, we bring light when it’s needed most.
