A Moment of Magic

At A Moment of Magic at the University of Iowa, we believe in the power of connection, imagination, and joy.

As a student-led chapter of a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we bring uplifting experiences to children in hospitals, foster care, and underserved communities across Iowa. Dressed as beloved characters—or as ourselves—our volunteers lead activities, share stories, and offer moments of joy and companionship during what may be a challenging time.

Our characters bring magic to life through costume and play.

Our “magic makers” help make every visit safe, smooth, and meaningful.

Together, we remind kids of what it means to be Brave, Strong, and Fearless.

Your donation helps us:

Fund training, costumes, and supplies for volunteers

Travel to and from pediatric hospitals, care centers, and more

Pay chapter dues that keep our work running behind the scenes

Every visit is powered by student volunteers and generous supporters like you. With your help, we can continue showing up for the kids and communities who invite us in—bringing a little extra light wherever we go.

Thank you for supporting the magic.

As busy college students, we carve time out of our schedules to bring a little magic to vulnerable and underserved youth in Chicago. Through books, games, conversations, mental health workshops, and character visits, we provide positive adult role models and meaningful connections, all aimed at building resilience. Help us raise the funds we need to continue this important work. A donation as small as $10 can kickstart a goodie bag for a child in need. With $50, you can help offset the cost of transportation for one visit. A gift of $150 can cover a month of clean, safe storage for our costumes, activity supplies, and volunteer equipment. And $500 can fund a full mental health workshop and provide resource backpacks for 10 children. Help us reach our goal and serve the greater Chicago area—one magical moment at a time.

Hi, I'm Sofia and I am trying to stat a chapter of A Moment of Magic at my university, UCLA! This incredible organization uses the power of play to bring joy and provide healing for chronically ill children and their families. Together, we can create moments that transform lives and foster deep connections during challenging times.

So let's work together to improve the lives of so many kids in need in the California area!

A Moment of Magic at Baylor University's Chapter Dues

At A Moment of Magic (AMoM), we harness the power of play to bring joy, foster connection, and support mental health healing for chronically ill children and their families. As the Baylor chapter, we have the incredible privilege of our magic makers and character volunteers visiting children in hospitals, foster settings, and going on home visits for medically vulnerable children, but we can't continue to make this magic without your help.

We are raising funds to cover our Baylor chapter dues so we can continue:

Hosting magical visits for children in hospitals

Creating personalized experiences that bring comfort and joy

Expanding our outreach to reach even more families in need

Every donation, no matter the size, directly supports our ability to keep showing up, spreading joy, and making magic real. If you’re not able to give, sharing this means just as much.

Help us raise dues to continue to bring A Moment of Magic to kids near us. A Moment of Magic is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to improve the quality of life of vulnerable and underserved children and to inspire them to be brave, strong, and fearless through fun and engaging social wellness activities.

Every child deserves the chance to feel seen, valued, and loved—especially those who are facing some of life’s toughest battles.

Your support directly fuels this mission. By helping us raise dues, you’re not just funding a program—you’re helping create a memory a child will hold onto forever. You’re helping a young heart believe in something bigger than their current reality. You’re reminding families that they are not alone.

With your generosity, we can continue to visit more children, spread more joy, and make a meaningful impact in our community. No act of kindness is too small. Together, we can ensure the magic doesn’t stop. Please consider donating and being a part of something truly special.
