(KMOV) -- Each year, Variety - the Children's Charity, holds a "Dinner with the Stars", which raises millions of dollars to help children with mental and physical disabilities.
Leading up to the big dinner is "Variety Week," and one of the stars of this year's event is in for a big surprise. Gracie, the poster child for Variety, received a custom-made dress for the Variety Week fashion show from New York designer Marc Valvo. The retail price for the dress would normally range anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000, but Gracie will get to keep the dress for free.
Surrounded by her mother, Kim, and New York designer Marc Valvo, little Gracie, the poster child for Variety, could hardly wait to see her gown. News 4's Julian Grace got the opportunity to share little Gracie's excitement. Click the video above to see more.
