WOW! The village continues to grow! One of Enchanted Makeovers programs to continues to empower all lives. No matter if you are making a cape or to the children living in shelters that are receiving a handmade cape. IT IS a full circle program. Thank you to The Pretenders Studio dancers and Lisa Gumenick from Santa Monica, California for your HUGE love and support.

We hope more children, teens, and adults step forward and make a cape💖

Who remembers our flash mob from 2011? This was Claire's Place Foundation's kick off event and it was so much fun! The money we raised was the seed money to start our non profit and we are still going strong 7 years later and have helped hundreds of families. Thank you to all who participated in this and who have supported us in our mission 💃🎉🤗💖 The Pretenders Studio did the choreography and helped us raise the money and #FlashmobAmerica helped us pull it off. #AlwaysGrateful #cysticfibrosis #CFAwareness #FlashMob
