Previous Beneficiaries


CASA for Kids, Inc.
In order to support the community which has welcomed us and hosted us, we would like to give back a little. So the CASA for Kids, Inc. has been selected as our secondary beneficiary. CASA for Kids, Inc. advocates for children in foster care throughout Barry, Eaton, and Ingham counties. They ensure a child’s voice is heard, their needs are met, and they are in a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive!

The Horses of the Knights of the New Order
The 2023 beneficiaries are crowd favorites every year. The horses of the Knights of the New Order are the real stars, and it takes a lot for upkeep and medical treatments, especially with a complicated birth of the new baby. We were so happy to help these beauties make the world a little more magical!

Crosswalk Teen Center
In order to support the community which has welcomed us and hosted us, we would like to give back a little. So the Crosswalk Teen Center was selected as our secondary beneficiary. Crosswalk Teen Center provides a safe, enjoyable environment where teenagers can engage in supervised after-school and out-of-school activities designed for teens in order to empower diverse teen leaders who will enrich the community.

Members of the Rogue Blades
2022 beneficiaries for The Magical Realm Fantasy Faire were the fun and talented Rogue Blades! As many of you may know, Squire Paul has had one medical set-back after another, eventually leading to the loss of his chosen career. Dave the Knave lost his home and belongings in the Midland area floods two years ago, and is still not back in his home. Please join us in helping to bring a little magic back into their world. (Update: Dave was finally given access to his home while at our fair!)

SIREN/Eaton Shelter
In order to support the community which has welcomed us and hosted us, we would like to give back a little. So the SIREN/Eaton Shelter, Inc. was selected as our secondary beneficiary for 2022. Their mission to help domestic violence survivors and homeless families in the community really means something to us here in the Magical Realm.
