Thanks to one of our own Charlotte Smarties, Kari Bourg, for sending us this information on a wonderful cause! Her daughter, Eliza is a childhood leukemia survivor and past recipient of a Make-A-Wish experience. So it's in honor of Eliza that Kari works so hard on this annual event each year.

Tea-For-Three will feature vignettes from the Nutcracker by the Charlotte City Ballet Company, a formal British tea, and mother-daughter-doll fashion show. For additional fees, girls and their dolls can get glamorous in a salon hosted by Sweet & Sassy. Love Portraits can photograph the glitzy girls in individual fashion shoots. Fabulous prizes can be won in a raffle or purchased in an auction. Everyone can statisfy their sweet tooth at a candy bar. Santa will be on hand as will Miss North Carolina, Katherine Southard!
