Queen for a Day

QFAD hosts parties at hospitals for cancer patients to receive the royal treatment. Girls receive make-overs, manicures, pink feather boas, and tiaras donated by beauty queens. Boys experience the Hero treatment, based on firefighters and police officers.

By giving children this time to remember what being a child is all about, QFAD allows the patient's body to relax and better receive medical treatment. The program also provides emotional and psychological support to the family in addition to the patient.
