The South Jersey Healthcare Auxiliary hosted its annual Princess Party on Saturday, March 6. Morning and afternoon parties entertained 75 princesses from ages 2-6 with parents and grandparents. Each princess received a loot bag, souvenir photo, nail painting, crafts and snacks. The SJH Auxiliary once again recruited the help of Lisa Taylor from Party Works to bring in key elements of the party, including Disney princesses. Taylor has been assisting with the event since it began in 2005. The Princess Party raised more than $2000 and all proceeds benefited the South Jersey Healthcare Foundation.
“All of our princesses and their families greatly enjoyed this event,” said Lynn Crescenzo, Chair of the South Jersey Healthcare Auxiliary. “The girls had a lot of fun dressing up and being treated like royalty, and we were able to raise money for South Jersey Healthcare at the same time.”
