Charitable Children Princess Balls

The Believe in Magic Ball Helped Terminal and Very Sick Kids

— August 14, 2015 — Life-Stages
Earlier this week, One Direction member Louis Tomlinson and his mother Johanna Deakin hosted the Believe in Magic Ball. Hardly the first fancy dress event to benefit charity, the Cinderella-inspired affair didn't just benefit a philanthropic organization, it gave terminal and seriously ill children the chance to be princesses and princes.

The Believe in Magic Ball gave the sick kids a chance to enjoy themselves in a truly magical setting, making the dreams of many come true. For girls, this included handmade wands and beautiful outfits.

Along with his band mate Liam Payne, Louis made headlines by donating a considerable amount throughout the evening via auctions. The pair also gave away fellow One Direction members Niall Horan's autographed guitar and designer t-shirts belonging to Harry Styles. Other British celebrities were also in attendance.
Trend Themes
1. Children's Charity Events - The success of the Believe in Magic Ball demonstrates the demand and potential for more charity events aimed at giving children with severe illnesses a chance to enjoy themselves despite their circumstances.
2. Customized Experiences for Sick Children - Designing personalized experiences based on the interests of terminally and seriously ill children presents a valuable opportunity for businesses to make a positive impact on society while also generating revenue.
3. Celebrity Philanthropy - Celebrities utilizing their wealth and status to bring attention to and raise funds for charitable causes showcases the potential for increased celebrity philanthropy in the future.
Industry Implications
1. Charity and Nonprofit - The success of the Believe in Magic Ball highlights the potential for more charitable organizations focused on creating high-quality experiences for sick children to emerge and thrive.
2. Event Planning - Companies specializing in event planning could create a niche for themselves by developing specialized events focused on creating magical experiences for children suffering from serious illnesses.
3. Children's Toys and Clothing - Retailers in the children's toy and clothing space could explore offering customized products for seriously ill children, providing them with a sense of comfort and individuality during a difficult time.
