There are some events that go beyond business, beyond marketing, beyond community outreach—and this is one of them.
On May 17th, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, 716 Garage Door Repair is honored to once again sponsor the 4th Annual “Be Our Guest” Ball, hosted by Totally Buffalo Cares.
A Day Where Kids Get to Be Kids Again
“Be Our Guest” is a Disney-inspired ball created exclusively for children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, along with their siblings. It’s designed to give these families something they rarely get during treatment:
A day of pure joy, imagination, and normalcy.
This year, 180 children and their siblings will be welcomed into a magical experience where they’re treated like royalty from the moment they arrive.
From Hospital Visits to Fairy Tales
Imagine this:
- Kids choose their dream costume—princesses, princes, and beloved characters
- Volunteer stylists provide professional hair and makeup
- The room transforms into a storybook setting
- Music, dancing, and laughter fill the space
For a few hours, hospital rooms, treatments, and diagnoses fade into the background.
They’re not patients.
They’re guests of honor.
Why This Event Matters
Families navigating serious illness carry an emotional weight that most people never see. Events like “Be Our Guest” create a rare and powerful shift:
- A chance for siblings to feel included
- A break for parents to see their children smile freely
- A moment where joy takes center stage instead of fear
It’s not about raising money—it’s about raising spirits.
How You Can Help: Hair & Makeup Artists Needed
To make this day truly magical, the event relies on volunteers—especially hair and makeup artists.
If you’re a stylist in the Western New York area, this is an incredible opportunity to give back in a way that has an immediate, visible impact.
