This is our story.

And we are just getting started.

 

In 2011, A Moment of Magic Founder Kylee McGrane-Zarnoch was navigating a deeply personal experience. Her grandparents were enduring long-term hospital care and were overwhelmed by feelings of isolation, disorientation, and dehumanization.  Through hundreds of visits, Kylee began to see a powerful truth: while medicine can treat the body, it’s often the small moments — a shared laugh, a heartfelt conversation and genuine human connection— that restore the spirit.

​

These carefree moments weren’t just distractions. They were lifelines.

​

Inspired to create these Moments of Magic for others, Kylee began visiting local pediatric wards dressed as a princess.   Fifteen years later that simple act of kindness has become a national movement with a clear mission: to bring light to heavy places by reminding children that even in the midst of serious illness, they are always kids first.
