On April 8, 2005, the Cincinnati,
Ohio Chapter of Queen For A Day held its most recent tea party at
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. There were 13 “queens” in attendance
who enjoyed an afternoon of makeovers, manicures and photos
commemorating their special day.
Each queen also received a signed
certificate to take home, along with her own crown, photo and special
gift. Four volunteers assisted, along with several hospital staff
members.
The hospital, once again, praised
the Queen For A Day organization and invited us back for another tea
party later this year.

The
Cincinnati chapter of Queen For A Day held its first tea party on
Thursday, April 22, 2004 at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. About 11
girls ranging in age from 3 to 17 visited during the one-hour event to
have make-up and nail polish applied.
After
the makeovers, each girl picked out a tiara to keep and a beautiful
feather boa. Then, each girl had their photo taken with their tiara, a
banner that read “Queen For A Day”, a robe and flowers. After their
photo, they got to choose a gift from the gift table, and received a
certificate naming them Queen For A Day.
Visiting
royalty at the event included Tabitha Dellinger, Dream Girls USA
National Teen Queen, and Jennifer Reed-White, Ohio’s 30s Beauties of
America. Additional volunteers included Linda Dellinger (Tabitha’s Mom)
and Wanda Reed (Jennifer’s Mom).
Everyone in attendance had a
wonderful time. Many positive comments were received from the girls,
hospital staff, parents and event volunteers. Cincinnati Children’s has
invited us back for another event, and would like to coordinate media
attendance for that. This was a very positive, beneficial event for all
who participated! We even had requests and inquiries about having an
event for the boys. So, next time, we may try to include a “Heroes”
event as well. |
