“When you’re a celebrity, it’s adios reality!” It sure was for Chas as he hung out backstage with Brad Paisley.
The Magic of Music
There is no doubt that music – whether the lyrics or the
melody itself – has an impact on each of us. Be it your
favorite love song or a great tune that takes you back to your
high school days, music can transform us. This is exactly
what 13-year-old Chas of Mobile experienced over the last
few years.
Diagnosed in 2009 with cancer, Chas was no longer able to
enjoy his favorite activities such as riding bikes and playing
soccer with his friends. Because cancer takes much of his
strength, Chas found new ways to have fun – including a love
for music.
As his passion grew, Chas found a favorite among the stars.
Despite his twin sister Ellie’s best attempts for his favorite
to be Miley Cyrus, Chas found the most pleasure in singing
along to the light-hearted and often funny lyrics sung by Brad
Paisley. In no time, Chas had memorized most of Paisley’s
songs and “did not shy away from belting them out to anyone
who will listen,” according to his mom, Katie.
Little did Chas know that “singing along” would
soon become “singing with!” On June 14, as Chas
made his way to Children’s Hospital for more routine
treatments, Brad Paisley was making his way into
Birmingham for the Bama Rising benefit concert.
After settling into his hotel and enjoying his favorite
foods for dinner, Chas hopped into a stretch-limo with
his sister, mother, and father, and went to the concert
hall where he listened to more than 19 acts, including
Martina McBride, Sheryl Crow, Dierks Bentley and
Alabama sang their hits in front of a sold-out crowd.
About halfway into the show, Chas got the message
that Paisley had arrived, and it was time for his magic
moment to become a reality!
Arriving back stage, the family quickly realized this
was no ordinary meet and greet. Joining together,

Paisley escorted Chas and his family
onto his tour bus where they spent
time sharing stories and swapping
jokes. After visiting, Chas returned
backstage to watch the rest of the
show unfold, including a standout
performance by Chas’s new friend,
Brad Paisley.
A Physician in
Training
Donovan gvies his shopping partners a big
thumbs up after a great day at Best Buy!
“A thankful person enjoys a blessing
twice; when it’s received and when
it’s remembered,” wrote Tanya in a
note to Magic Maker McKena Bates.
Tanya was reflecting on the joyful
occasions of the previous day when
her son Donovan’s wish became a
reality.
Ten-year-old Donovan from
Dothan was born not only with an
abnormally small aortic valve, but in
addition, Donovan’s heart is on the
right side of his body. In less than
eight years, Donovan underwent
ten major surgeries. Because of his
experiences, coupled with his strong
faith and commitment to being
the best he can be, Donovan wants
to be a doctor when he grows up.
Already training, Donovan mimics
his favorite physician’s style by
wearing bowties. However, one key
component was missing – a personal
laptop computer! On a cold, wintery
day earlier this year while most were
bundled inside, Donavan was out
making dreams a reality at Best Buy
where he secured the final piece to
his doctor ensemble.
Upon arriving at Best Buy, Donovan,
Tanya, and McKena unexpectedly
met a former wish recipient who
happened to be shopping in Best Buy
that very same day! Joni enjoyed her
very own magic moment in 1994 when
she received a king-size waterbed.
After visiting with Joni and sharing
tears of joy as all present reflected
on what Magic Moments means
to them, Donovan and company
set out for an afternoon of fun and
shopping. A team of eager Best Buy
associates outfitted the
physician-in-training with the latest
and greatest equipment, including
a laptop, printer, and games. While
most of us spend an hour or less in
Best Buy, Donovan made a day of it,
playing games such as XBOX Kinect
for almost two hours with the
store employees.
Dreaming with
Eyes Open
“Are we there yet?” Kaitlyn asked her
parents for what seemed like the 50th
time since they left their villa.
“Yes!” her mother exclaimed as they
approached the magical gates of
Disney World. According to her
mom, the look on Kaitlyn’s face was
priceless. That fairytale place Kaitlyn
had only dreamed of from her home
in Montgomery was within her
grasp. Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, and
the other princesses that helped her
through her struggle with cancer
weren’t just on the television screen
any longer.
Running was something this sixyear-old little girl couldn’t do just
a year earlier as chemotherapy
weakened her small body. However,
you would never know as she darted
to the trolley that would take her to
the Magic Kingdom.
“First, I want to see the castle, then
I want to take my picture with Ariel,
then if we have time...”Kaitlyn was
interrupted by her grandmother
who told her not to worry; they were
going to do everything this little girl
wanted. This trip was magical, she
reminded her granddaughter.
Back at home, Donovan’s eyes
continued to show his joy and
happiness. After playing with his new
computer and sharing his excitement
with family members, Donovan made
one last call to McKena to say “Good
night Mrs. McKena. I love you.”
With a mouth full of cotton candy, Kaitlyn smiles
big as she approaches Disney World!

And magical it was indeed! When her
parents received the news that their
only child had a rare tumor that was
only curable in about 20% of cases,
they worried not that they would be
able to take Kaitlyn on a trip, but that
they would be able to spend their
little girl’s birthday with her ever
again. After an intense battle, not
only was their daughter healthy – she
was happier than ever before. She
grabbed the hand of her best friend,
her grandmother, as she stared in
amazement at the castle in front of
her.
“Well, I thought you had a list of
everything you wanted to do in your
head...let’s go!” her grandmother
laughed.
“But...I don’t even know anymore. Is
this real life?” Kaitlyn asked looking
all around her.
Yes, it was real life. A life that
was affected by such a serious
illness at a tender young age.
A life that had undergone
intense medication routines,
surgeries, and many nights in
a cold hospital bed. A life that,
thanks to all of our Magic
Moments supporters, was a
dream come true as the parents
of this darling child watched in
amazement as their daughter
learned “magic really does exist!”
On Center Stage
brave young woman recorded
her first album of five original
songs. Damon Johnson,
renowned musician of Alice
Cooper and Brother Cane,
assisted in creating Sarah’s
album. Damon, a Shelby County
native, was so impressed by this
fighter and her amazing voice
that he even invited her to open
for one of his upcoming shows
in Birmingham!
A star is born! Sarah joins rock star Damon Johnson on stage for a live preformance.
Two years ago, a bright, cheerful
young lady from Birmingham prepared to move to California. Sarah
was always selected to play the lead
in school plays, and it wasn’t uncommon for this up-and-coming star
to randomly burst out in beautiful
song. After taking her hometown by
storm, Sarah decided with her mother
to move to Los Angeles where she
planned to pursue her music career.
As she made plans and began packing
her bags, Sarah noticed she was more
lethargic each day. Sure her daughter
was just exhausted preparing for the
move, Sarah’s mother took her to the
doctor to make sure she wasn’t coming down with a “bug.”
It was during that appointment that
Sarah received life-changing news
– she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma at the tender age of 16.
Determined she wasn’t going to let
this disease stop her, Sarah battled
through her intense treatment. As
an escape, Sarah would dream of the
day she was better and could hit the
road – L.A. bound! Sarah continued
singing and when asked what she
wanted for her magic moment, there
was no hesitation. This May, the
Page 3
Sarah made her concert debut in
September during a concert at
Sweet Bones Alabama.
Supporters, old and new,
including her new friend
Damon, cheered Sarah on as she
entertained the audience with
her original hits. Damon even
dedicated his hit “Hard Act to
Follow” to his new friend, Sarah.
The long road Sarah has
journeyed didn’t stop her from
reaching toward her dreams.
This artist, with her first album
in hand, still plans to head to
Los Angeles to take the music
world by storm. Keep your ears
open for more to come from
this amazing young lady whose
battle only made her stronger!
Special Magic Moments
From the Eyes of a Board Member
A big teddy bear himself, Billy brings Maylee a special friend.
By Billy Morace
When I met Kaylee, I couldn’t wait to
tell the Magic Moments staff about
this precious little girl. I was lucky
enough to play the part of Santa at a
local Christmas party last December.
When one of the children came
over to tell me her Christmas wish,
I noticed something different. This
blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl
only had one arm. When I asked what
she wanted from Santa, she whispered
“any gift will be great!”
What an amazing attitude! A little
girl who had obviously faced many
obstacles didn’t have any special
requests. I knew then and there that
Kaylee definitely deserved a magic
moment.
As a Magic Moments board
member, I’m fortunate to learn of
so many deserving children across
Alabama who receive wishes, and
I’m so grateful to be a part of this
organization. I’m here for the kids
and want to do anything I can to help
turn their situations around.
When it was time for Kaylee to
receive her wish - a trip to Disney
World - I was the lucky one
to share the great news with
her. Once again, her attitude
was so spectacular as she
squealed with excitement at
the good news. Born with
only one arm, Kaylee’s life
was very different than other
kids in her class, but you
would never know by the
shining smile across her face
when she learned she was
going to the “Happiest Place
on Earth.”
Being able to devote my
time to an organization that helps
children like Kaylee is more than
worth it. There’s nothing like getting
to experience the excitement these
children feel when they have the
opportunity to forget about their
illness for a little while and just
have fun being a kid. I’m grateful to
be a part of it and look forward to
continuing to do what I can to help
grant more wishes!
Volunteer Focus
Linda and Rick Wolfe
If you’ve ever attended the Tum
Tum Tree Foundation’s wine auction
weekend in November, you’ve most
likely run into Linda and Rick Wolfe.
This couple is a dynamic duo with
hearts as big as mountains who give
up much of their time throughout
the year to volunteer with Magic
Page 4
Moments. When their friend Susan
Crosthwait, who also volunteers for
Magic Moments, told Linda and Rick
about the organization, they couldn’t
get involved soon enough.
“Rick usually just lets me decide
where we volunteer, but when I
talked to him about Magic Moments,
he decided right away it would be the
perfect fit for us,” Linda said. And the
perfect fit was right. Linda and Rick
have really gone above and beyond
the call of duty, making every effort
to attend out-of-town events and
giving up many weekends
to Magic Moments.
The Wolfes love every event they
participate in, but they both agree
their favorite involvement comes
during the circus event each January.
Linda dresses as a clown and paints
faces while Rick ensures everything
runs smoothly with several stations
during the evening. At this event,
they get to spend time with Magic
Moments wish recipients and love
hearing their stories of how special
their magic moment was to them.
“We love children, and there is
nothing better than making a child
smile,” Rick says.
As volunteers, the couple has learned
how important it is to change a
moment in time for patients. They
feel Magic Moments strives to
change moments in time and by
doing so, makes an indelible imprint
on the hearts of wish children and
their families.
“What could be more fun than that?”
Linda says with a smile.
Magic Moments is truly grateful for
Linda and Rick and all of our
volunteers that make magic a reality.

By Kids, For Kids
Kids helping kids. It’s an amazing idea. And
this idea became a reality this fall for three
schools across the state.
In September, the students of Trinity Presbyterian School in Montgomery combined
forces to see how much they could raise in
just one day. During the week leading up to
the event, the stories of children affected
by serious illness who have received wishes
from Magic Moments were shared with the
students. Each day, more and more students
went home to tell their parents that they
wanted to climb on board for the Friday
event. In just one day, students raised
$1,775 for Magic Moments.
In October, the students of Birmingham’s
Hoover High School made one little boy’s
dream a reality when they surprised him
at a pep-rally in his honor. During a Star
Wars-themed pep rally, the
cheerleaders asked the football team to tell
a little boy, James, where he would be going
next spring. As the football players held up
signs spelling out “Disney World,” James
learned he would be traveling to the
Happiest Place on Earth to meet characters
from his favorite movie during Star Wars
Week. Over the course of the fall semester, the student body, under the leadership
of the student-run Magic Moments Club,
raised $4,000 to fund this special wish.
Meanwhile, the students of Mobile’s Faith
Academy also dedicated part of their fall
fundraising efforts to help grant wishes
for children living with critical illnesses.
Through a variety of unique fundraisers
during Homecoming Week, the entire
student body, ranging from
kindergartners to seniors, put their best
foot forward to raise $1,673.
We are honored to work with these students and others as kids continue to help
kids right in their backyard.
Hoover High School SGA President, Callie Newton, announces the big news: James is
going to Disney World for Star Wars Week!
Around Alabama
Magic Moments is very fortunate to have the support of many civic
groups. Some have been loyal supporters for many years, and some
are new to the Magic Moments family. Here’s what’s been going on
around Alabama over the past few months:
Verizon Amphitheatre was transformed into a car enthusiast’s heaven
this May when the Mid-Alabama Corvette Club (MACC) held their
annual show benefitting Magic Moments. Over the last 11 years,
MACC has donated over to $100,000 through events such as this one!
Over the summer, Dr. James Sanderson brought smiles to the faces of
many more than his patients. Proceeds from the sale of all at-home
whitening systems were kindly donated to Magic Moments.
The Alex City Arts Association along with Lake Martin Living
magazine held its first annual art show on October 20 to benefit
Magic Moments. One guest in particular had a very special evening.
Payton, a nine-year-old cancer patient, received a special announcement – her magic moment will come true as she learned she will be
traveling with her family to Disney World this December!
On August 20, Bessemer Civic Center was filled with friends toe-tapping and foot-stomping to the beat of favorite country artists. Members of the Western Country Club gathered for the eighth annual
dance benefitting Magic Moments. Grins were on every face, but one
smile seemed bigger than others. Angel Lovejoy, a 16-year-old wish
recipient who suffered a traumatic brain injury, was the guest of
honor.

Big Shots for Alabama Kids!
Over the past seven years, under the
leadership of Billy Morace and Tim
Head, Magic Moments and Children’s
Harbor has hosted a fall sporting clay
shoot at Selwood Farm. What started
as a four-hour event with a handful
of teams has grown leaps and bounds
into a full-day exhibition, thanks to the
support of over 60 corporations in the
greater Birmingham area.
You may wonder what makes our
sporting clay shoot successful.
Certainly there are standard protocols,
but we feel that the Magic Moments
clay shoot is set apart by our dynamic
leadership team, great partners, and
fabulous prizes. Since initiating the
event in 2004, Tim and Billy have
worked tirelessly to ensure a premier
event with great food, good friends,
and first class prizes. Jim N’ Nick’s
Bar-B-Q, a year-round supporter of
Magic Moments, provides a fabulous
lunch and assures that each sportsman
is left happy and satisfied. Billy and
Tim, with the support of committee
members Tom Broughton, Brian
Giattina, Dan Price, Stephen Franklin,
Lauri Newton, and Jim Ray, reach out
to their friends, business partners,
and even some strangers to bring
together a wonderful and enthusiastic
collection of participants. Lastly,
prizes such as shotguns, fishing trips,
weekend hunts, and much more bring
out the competitive spirit in everyone
as they vie for a combination of great
prizes and, perhaps more importantly,
bragging rights!
After seeing what a success this event
had become in the Birmingham region,
Billy and Tim decided to coordinate
a second event in Montgomery. The
Capital City Clay Shoot just held its
third annual event on October 14
with 20 teams gathering at Lower
Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club for
the event. David Gadilhe of Jim ‘N
Nick’s provided another delicious
meal for this event, and players
walked away with amazing prizes
ranging from shooting glasses from
Bass Pro Shops to a half-day quail
hunt to a painting created especially
for this event by Montgomery’s own
Carl Calderone.
Hats off to our winners of both
of this year’s events. At the
Birmingham shoot, the members
of the National Cement Company
team and Team Ted took first place
in their respective flights, and Bob
Carlton dominated the field as the
highest shooter. In Montgomery, the
Patrick-Tompkins team walked away
with first place while Joe Hill was
named highest shooter.
A big thanks to our Birmingham
event committee, Montogmery
regional board, sponsors and all
participants. Your dedication,
enthusiasm and excitment keeps the
magic going for Alabama’s kids!
More than just fun and games, clay shoots allow
for great friendships to be born.

Shake Your Tail Feather!
There’s no better way to sum up a
fall day in Alabama than football and
food! That’s exactly what the 3rd
Annual Kick’n Chick’n WingFest
benefiting Magic Moments set out
to do. And boy did they do it right!
On October 1, as both Alabama and
Auburn were preparing for exciting
afternoons against Florida and South
Carolina, respectively, over 2,000
patrons from the Birmingham area
came out to taste Birmingham’s best
wings and support Magic Moments.
Over 15 restaurants competed for
prestigious awards such as the
“Thighsman Trophy” and the “Shake
Your Tail Feather Award.” Coupled
with the aroma of hot wings,
true excitement was in the air as
Eric Fillenbaum beat out 11 other
contestants in the first Kick’n Chick’n
Wing-Eating Contest by downing
1.26 pounds of chicken wings in five
minutes.
In addition to wings, patrons were
able to enjoy the day’s football games
on big screens located throughout the
event. And for our younger patrons,
the Kids Helping Kids area was full
of laugher and friendship as children
played together on a variety of
toys and made door ornaments for
those children who are currently at
Children’s Hospital for treatment.
None of this would be possible
without the dedication of the Magic
Moments Junior Board and event
chairperson Kassady Gibson, all of
whom have spent countless hours
over the past three years to grow this
event from a simple idea into one of
Birmingham’s favorite family-friendly
fundraisers!

Beverly Broach, Carol Ballard, First Lady Dianne Bentley, and Jeannene Mullins mingled as guests
arrived for the First Annual Women of Influence event.
Party with a Purpose
Every woman is influential. Whether
a doctor, homemaker, political leader,
or friend — women in the River
Region are vital to our community.
Women were asked this August to
look in, reach out, and lift up - look
within to see what they have to offer,
reach out to someone who needs a
helping hand, and lift them up to a
better day.
During the inaugural event on
August 18, ladies gathered at Alley
Station in Montgomery for a
luncheon and fashion show
benefitting Magic Moments. Event
Chairperson Kim Hendrix welcomed
guests, including First Lady Dianne
Bentley and District Attorney Ellen
Brooks who gave the invocation.
Tammy Griffin of A Catered Affair
prepared a delicious summer menu
featuring grilled chicken over a bed
of seasonal greens paired with a cold
gazpacho soup. Tammy’s famous
Chocolate Trifle tantalized taste buds
during dessert.
As lunch concluded, guests had the
opportunity to bid on several items,
including gift certificates to Pickwick
Antiques and a necklace designed
especially for the event by Ex Voto’s
Elizabeth Adams. This piece was only
the beginning of a stylish afternoon.
A fashion show featuring the latest
fall fashions from Dillard’s at Eastdale
Mall, Francesca’s of Zelda Place, and
Painted Pink, was emceed by Fashion
Show Coordinator Melissa George
Bowman. Two very special models,
Shatavia and Holli, who both received
wishes from Magic Moments, showed
off styles for children and teens.
Holli’s mom, Jane, moved the audience
to tears as she told of her daughter’s
battle with kidney disease and what
her magic moment – meeting the
Jonas Brothers – meant to her little
girl. As Jeannene Mullins closed in
prayer, guests left feeling refreshed
and renewed, knowing they are indeed
women of influence.
