On Tuesday, March 6, young ladies flocked to the three-story American Girl Place in midtown (dolls in tow) for a special fund-raising party sponsored by the Children's Cancer & Blood Foundation. During the event, kids, who had private access to the entire store, took their dolls to be pampered at the Doll Hair Salon, sampled yummy (not to mention very pretty) hors d'oeurvres and desserts, went on a scavenger hunt and, most important, posed for pictures with their friends, dolls and family. Scroll through our party pictures for an inside look at the fun!
