Welcome to the Metro Detroit Chapter of Queen for a Day and Heroes-Michigan. 
Our mission hasn't changed but our name has!
Queen for a Day/Hero for a Day now falls under the umbrella foundation of "The For A Day Foundation"
Queen for a Day (QFAD) and Heroes are national non-profit charities whose mission is to raise the self esteem and confidence of children 3-21.


We do this through personal visits and group parties where we offer makeovers, crafts, manicures, games, temporary tattoos and entertainers. Girls receive boas and tiaras some donated by beauty queens, boys receive fireman hats, and a badge.

While Queen for a Day and Heroes primary focus is on children with cancer, all children that are patients at the time of our hospital visits, are invited to participate as we feel any child that is ill and a patient needs a bit of extra attention.

Participating Michigan hospitals: William Beaumont-Royal Oak, St. John Hospital-Grosse Pointe, Children’s Hospital of Michigan-Detroit, Mott Children’s Hospital–Ann Arbor, Sparrow Hospital-Lansing and Hurley Hospital-Flint

Visits with children also take place at Camp Quality-Fenton, Camp Quality-Petoskey, Gilda’s Club-Royal Oak. FADF also does individual visits for children at home or in the hospital.

A special thank you to our everday heroes that work to bring smiles to the children!
