Rapunzel (Heroes for Little Heroes)

Dance, laugh, create, and play with Rapunzel! We're very lucky that Rapunzel was able to safely take the trip from her kingdom to travel to Kelowna and meet all of you! She's excited to do crafts, take photos, and spend time with the visitors to this year's Kelowna Fringe Festival. 

​Heroes for Little Heroes: 
​Heroes for Little Heroes is a registered Canadian nonprofit organization that provides support, fosters imagination, and adds magic into the lives of medically vulnerable and disadvantaged children through youth volunteers. Through our initiative, we hope to help and inspire children, and their families, at a time when they need it most.
