Princess with a Purpose
 

In 2018 we started Princess Party by MC by simply wanting to have a fundraiser for our neighbors and friends, The Palermo family.  Their daughter, Kate, had been diagnosed with Leukemia.  We wanted to do something special, to bring attention, and to show love. 

​

We spread word through our neighborhood and the result was magical. So many kids and families joined us in celebrating Kate.  We donated over $2,500 to Lurie Children's Hospital in Kate Palermo's name.

​

We are dedicated to supporting cancer research, and to spreading joy and the message of helping others.  A portion of the proceeds will always go to this these efforts.  Thank you for your support.  

We were featured on Windy City Live, this is the segment.

We Love Reviews 

"We recently had Queen Elsa for our daughter’s 5th birthday and it was amazing!!!

The girls loved it and Elsa had them all wishing on magical snowflakes. She fielded questions about Frozen 2 and led all the girls in a dance. She was so great with the kids. Made my daughter’s year!"
