A lot of work went into the annual Little Princess Ball with proceeds going to the health foundation.

“We spent about six months of our lives putting this together from costumes to décor to the timeline of planning,” said Dawn Ritter, an organizing committee member for the ball. “It’s amazing, friends and family that help out and just volunteers that just come out of the woodwork and just say, ‘How can I help you guys?’”

She added there was always lots of things for the girls to do.

“The girls are busy all the time. Everything is bang, bang, bang. There’s always something. It’s nonstop,” said Ritter. “There’s dancing. There’s characters singing. There’s glittering and sparkling.”

Kelly Mcelree, executive director of the health foundation, said the event keeps growing each year.

“It’s such a special event for both the moms and the daughters and at the end of the day they know that they’re going to be able to help babies out in our community,” said Mcelree.
