About the Fairy Godmother Foundation & Annual Murder Mystery Dinner

The Fairy Godmother Foundation was formed to provide a free wedding for a deserving couple facing life altering circumstances or a terminal illness.  The foundation seeks out couples who have delayed their wedding because tragic circumstances redirected wedding funds to pay for medications, treatment and other costs associated with a serious illness or sustained injury.  There is little to no cost for the couple.  Couple’s are carefully selected by a diverse community board.

 

The seed was planted in 2015 when Colleen Bauer, the owner and founder of Fairy Godmother – Wedding and Event Company, started with her sister on their annual road trip to Oregon.  Bauer wrote on her Bucket List, “Give Back to the Community.” At the time she wasn’t sure how or what she would do, but she just knew that she wanted to give back to the community that had been so gracious to her and her business.

Bauer came up with the idea to give a wedding away to a deserving couple!  A year later, with the help of fellow Fairy Godmother’s Denise Ferdinand, Pam Huckabee and owner of Limousine Scene, Jim Luff, Bauer formed the Executive Board for The Fairy Godmother Foundation.  The Board went right to work, first getting the word out.  After launching a Facebook page, they were quickly flooded with emails from fellow wedding professionals wanting to help.  The foundation has received enormous recognition since then and it has been a true testament to Bakersfield’s big heart.

The Board then set out to find the perfect couple.  They interviewed six finalists and chose Kurt and Blanca Dudley. Cancer had taken over their lives and their story was heartbreaking. On October 24, 2014 the foundation planned a magic day for them and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

Join us in making a difference in these deserving couples’ lives! Tonight, is our annual fundraiser for the Fairy Godmother Foundation and it is a big night! We will be hosting a Murder Mystery Dinner at the Rockin Rose. This is our night to raise funds for the year as we work hard to build relationships with various couples and select and plan memorable weddings for them to ease the burdens they’re currently facing.

Enjoy these photos from past couples and look out for photos of tonight’s festivities on our social media!
