Princess Odette has had a SWANderful time at events with the Mascot Miracles Foundation!

You can learn more about her work with them here!

Mascot Miracles Foundation Halloween Parade

A large thunderstorm was no match for the Halloween spirit of the Mascot Miracles Foundation! Though the storm prevented their traditional outdoor parade, they moved inside the Zion's Bank Training Center for a memorable trick or treat alley. 

Volunteers dressed in swan inspired feathers helped give out swan plush and other treasures.

General Puffin loved meeting all of the families and giving them a hug or a salute!

 

Odette autographed plush swans on request. What do you think her signature looks like?

Puffin even wore a Halloween costume! He dressed as a mummy! JeanBob helped Puffin wind himself in the bandages. We think he looks adorably spooky!

Mascot Miracles Foundation Stick Horse Rodeo

The Mascot Miracles Foundation Stick Horse Rodeo is one of Princess Odette's favorite events of the year!

Children with life threatening illnesses and special needs are paired with professional PRCA rodeo athletes and rodeo queens to compete in traditional western rodeo events, but with a stick horse made of fabric and wood! 

There's barrel racing, team roping, and even bull riding!

Pony rides were available on real horses and there was even a petting zoo filled with baby farm animals!

The rodeo clowns are an especially fun addition to the day. Odette wore her western inspired riding outfit. Can you spot the swan feathers?

Baseball with the Mascot Miracles Foundation

Odette performed with mascots from the Mascot Miracles Foundation to support the Adaptive Arena- a sports center made to accommodate athletes with special and adaptive needs.

Since contact sports are more Prince Derek's specialty, Odette took the role of cheerleader to to rally the crowd and cheer for the athletes.

A Concert for Jon Absey

Jon Absey was the original Jazz Bear mascot for the Utah Jazz basketball team. He was a pioneer in the art of performing characters doing stunts and performing in many a non traditional venue. He is the reason many characters can do what they do today. He brought his character to life for nearly 25 years, performing at more than 800 Utah Jazz games and becoming one of the most beloved mascots in sports history.


Off the court, Jon was known for his huge heart, generosity, and service to his community  visiting children, supporting charities, and giving his time to make others feel seen and valued. 
Jon battled pancreatic cancer with strength and grace, and now we celebrate the life he lived, the smiles he created, and the legacy of love he left behind. 

A country music concert was held to honor him starring Alex Boye and Whitney Lusk.Odette was honored to don her cowboy boots and "Jon's Army" t shirt (worn as a skirt) to participate and support.

Mascot Miracles Foundation Dream Night at Hogle Zoo

Princess Odette loved spending the night with her fairy tale friends and the children of the Mascot Miracles Foundation at the zoo! There were animal interactions and train and carousel rides. Odette even got to feed a baby giraffe!

The best part of the night was dedicated to Brielle— a brave, beautiful little girl fighting cancer for the second time, now on hospice care. Her one wish: to make the dance she created go viral. So our Mascot Miracles Foundation family joined in and danced for her

Swimming at Mascot Miracles Foundation Cowabunga Bay

Princess Odette borrowed some Forbidden Arts magic to trade her feet for fins at the Mascot Miracles Foundation water park event. Her golden swan necklace came to life as a pool float that she shared with all of the kids for photos and hugs. Cinderella even stopped by!
