When North Carolina sophomore Caroline Stillwell first volunteered at UNC Children's Hospital, she donned a brunette wig and yellow gown. With those two steps, Stillwell transformed into Princess Belle to surprise a three-year-old on her birthday. Now, Stillwell is the event coordinator for UNC’s chapter of A Moment of Magic, a national nonprofit organization. (Daily Tar Heel)
