A Moment of Magic is a nonprofit organization that provides creative play, social-emotional support, and mental health resources to medically vulnerable children. Through in-person and virtual programs, trained volunteers bring joy, connection, and empowerment to children facing serious illnesses.

A Moment of Magic (AMoM), formerly known as The Princess Project, was founded by Kylee McGrane in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. The program began as a way to bring joy, magic, and empowerment to children facing serious illnesses by college students dressing as beloved characters during hospital and school visits. Since then, AMoM has grown into a national nonprofit organization with a diverse range of programs aimed at providing creative play, mental health support, and social-emotional learning opportunities to medically vulnerable children.

AMoM has reached children in all 50 states and seven different countries, providing thousands of visits since 2014. We have have impacted over 150,000 children through our programs.

We offer several key programs: Creative Play Programs – In-person and virtual character visits, storytelling, music, and interactive experiences. AMoM Unlimited – Virtual programming that ensures children can participate from home or the hospital. Express, Create, Heal (ECH) – A mental health initiative that uses creative arts and social-emotional learning to support children and caregivers.

Our programs are available to medically vulnerable children (ages 3-18) and their families. We partner with hospitals, treatment centers, community organizations, and individual families to bring our services to those in need.

AMoM was founded in New York City in December 2014 and started with just two volunteers. In 2015, we launched our college chapter system, and in 2017, we expanded again, keeping our national headquarters in NYC while partnering with colleges and universities nationwide. Today, we operate with over 25 chapters and continue to grow each year!
