MURRYSVILLE (KDKA) - It was a magical day in Murrysville as dozens of children went to the Bella Terra Stables.

It was there they got to meet real-life superheroes - police, firefighters, and EMS workers.

They also got to spend time with some of their favorite Disney princesses.

The non-profit organization said the event was all about raising awareness for children's mental health needs.
