News - Fairytale Foundation Celebrates a Decade of Enchanting Philanthropy

In Bay Village, Ohio, a teenage dream conceived by Stephanie Jordan has sparked imaginative joy for families across Northeast Ohio. The Fairytale Foundation, now celebrating a vibrant ten-year journey, invites supporters to a commemorative gala on December 27, 2025, at Rocky River's prestigious 200 Yacht Club Drive. Since its inception in 2015, the volunteer-led organization has flourished, expanding from a high school project to a cornerstone nonprofit. With 60 active volunteers, aged 14 to 22, from Bay Village and its vicinities, the foundation brings beloved storybook characters to life, creating unforgettable moments for children. Stephanie Jordan, the visionary founder and current president, remains committed to 'making magic' in her community. What began as heartwarming visits with characters has grown into a broader initiative, including 'Wish Visits', and appearances at private birthdays and public celebrations, like the annual Bay Days. Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Fairytale Foundation dedicates all proceeds directly to its mission: fostering joyful experiences for Northeast Ohio's youth. Young volunteers aren't merely actors; they are leaders cultivating essential skills through community engagement and service. The impending Anniversary Gala aims not only to honor a decade of accomplishments but to recount countless stories of smiles and 'happily ever afters' made possible by wholehearted volunteers inspired by a teen's cherished dream. The celebration on December 27, 2025, offers an opportunity to reflect on the power of dreams and the positive impact of shared community efforts.

Aspiring volunteers are encouraged to become part of this enchanting mission to spread fairytale magic throughout the region.
