Magical Moon Foundation Youth Cancer Benefit Extravaganza




The Magical Moon Foundation (MMF), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families and children living with cancer, has opened registration for their annual fundraising benefit event Once Upon a Steampunk Moon Extravaganza, to be held Saturday, May 3, from 6 to 9 pm, at Memorial Hall, 83 Court Street, Plymouth. Doors open at 5 pm, the bar and auction will be open at that time. An Elite VIP reception will immediately follow, from 9 to 11 pm.

Once Upon a Steampunk Moon Extravaganza invents a world of magic and empowerment allowing guests to look at life’s challenges and find joy in its possibilities, while celebrating MMF’s mission. The benefit transforms Memorial Hall into a world of Steampunk imagination and reinvention, where children are free to roam in a kingdom without cancer, and where guests have the opportunity to help children living with cancer to survive and to thrive.

MMF, founded by renowned artist Donna Green, has a unique mission: to encourage children to find the warrior within. Rather than living as kids fighting cancer, with the help of MMF, children become brave young knights, empowered to find inner strengths and manifest miracles in their lives. “Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity,” says Green. “It mixes technology with art and fashion, and transcends time and place. What a fantastic world for the kids to live in, if even for just one night. It plays to their boundless imaginations.” MMF has attracted a broad support system including celebrity attention from recording artist Steven Tyler, a board member.

Once Upon a Steampunk Moon Extravaganza features innovative cuisine, dancing, and entertainment provided by the Rainbow Warrior Knights and the Boston Children’s Theater. Silent and live auctions and celebrity guests make the benefit a season’s must‐attend event. Registrants can select basic gala registration, Elite VIP, or sponsor a range of activities including knighting ceremonies, Friends of the Magical Moon, or sending a child to a healthy Farm Experience.


Tickets to the Extravaganza are $100, and include theatre performance, live music, auctions and grand cocktail reception. Upgrade your experience to include the Elite VIP reception to your ticket for $200. Advance ticket purchases are recommended, ticket availability is limited due to capacity. Proceeds benefit the Magical Moon Foundation mission. Registration is now open online at www.magicalmoon.org.
