Princess Ball, in support of CF, coming to PeelCystic Fibrosis Canada has announced the Princess Ball is coming to Peel Region for the first time. It will be Jan. 30 at the Lionhead Golf Club and Conference Centre. After its third successful year in Windsor, and other cities across Canada, the Princess Ball will open its royal gates to a day of dress up and fun for children aged three to 12 at this lunch-time event, running from noon to 3 p.m. It is a magical event that is dedicated to raising awareness and funds in support of Canadians living with cystic fibrosis (CF). Among 150 little girls wearing tulle and tiaras at the Princesss Ball in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, a very special eight-year-old girl, Chloe Micaleff-Blank, will be in attendance. As any of the other little girls, Chloe loves princesses — her favourite is Rapunzel. She loves the colour blue and looks up to her big sister, but she's but also, has been on Kalydeco for the past two years. Chloe has cystic fibrosis. In an effort to reduce the risk of cross infection between people with CF, nobody else with the disease is able to attend the event, making Chloe hold the only title of the CF Princess. People with cystic fibrosis cannot be in the same room with one another due to a heightened risk of cross infection. The Princess Ball will feature an elegant mix of royal characters, similar to those from popular children's stories, bringing the magic of fairy tales to delighted boys and girls. Guests at this enchanting event will be treated to lunch, music, entertainment, dancing with your favourite princesses, beauty parlours, a fashion show, arts and crafts and many more surprises. “Cystic Fibrosis Canada is delighted to be expanding the Princess Ball to the Peel Region for the first time, after its third consecutive year in Windsor and cities across Canada,” Regional Executive Director at Cystic Fibrosis Canada Jeff Beach remarked. “Last year, Windsor's Princess Ball made a total gross revenue of $50,595 in support of critical CF research and care programs — we have high hopes for this year's in Peel Region. We invite members of the Peel community to join us in support of Canadians living with cystic fibrosis by participating in this fun event for the whole family.” Lionhead Golf Club and Conference Centre is at 8525 Mississauga Rd. in Brampton. Tickets can be obtained through https://brampton.snapd.com/princessball, or though Facebook at www.facebook.com/PrincessBallPeelRegion Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease that affects Canadian children and young adults.
