It’s a glamorous night where kids who’ve faced awful hardships are given the red carpet treatment by Little Smiles.
Virginia, KVJ Show co-host, has been involved with the gala for almost two decades.
“This is going to be one for the record books. A circus theme with all kinds of fun, additional acts and entertainment, and during all the bells and whistles, our team at Little Smiles behind the scenes has put together a fantastic gala. Really, it’s gonna be fun,” touted Virginia.
The 97.9 WRMF-FM radio personality said, “It’s so fun, and every year it just gets better and better.”
I asked her about the local kids who are receiving the A-list treatment.
“Little Smiles goes into local hospitals and hospices and shelters and any place where a kid is not able to find that normal [childhood] joy. Maybe they’ve been displaced by homelessness… …Maybe they’ve been through a traumatic event. Little Smiles comes in and works with our nurses and social workers and helps a kid smile again, anything from an iPad to a trip to Disney to helping them get school supplies like whatever they need,” Virginia said.
