Los Angeles Saturday, February 9, hosted by Miss America 2013, Mallory Hagan, crowned Jan. 12, 2013, in Las Vegas and hailing from Brooklyn, NY. The event will also feature a special guest appearance by Olympic Gold Medalist Carmelita Jeter, "The

The Coronation Concert will be in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles,
a nonprofit, academic, pediatric medical center that provides the
highest quality healthcare to more than 97,000 children and families
every year. Named the best children’s hospital in California and among the top five in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, Children’s

“My
Little Pony Friendship is Magic” follows the studious young unicorn
Twilight Sparkle and her five pony friends as they teach one another
about the most powerful magic of all, the magic of friendship! In
the special coronation episode “Magical Mystery Cure,” Twilight Sparkle
accidentally casts a spell that switches the Cutie Marks and destinies
of all her friends, and the only way she can reverse the spell is by
writing her own magic. Little does she know that by achieving this great
accomplishment, she will fulfill her destiny and emerge a princess.
