While the curtain closed on Cinderella a few weeks ago, we wanted to share one more magical moment. The Ruth had the honor of participating in a special wish-granting ceremony with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a remarkable young lady named Malia. Her wish? A trip to Disney World! We were so grateful to help celebrate her sendoff. Malia, we wish you and your family the most unforgettable adventure—you deserve all the joy and magic in the world. (fb)
