The Central Ohio Chapter of A Kid Again is hosting a drive-thru party at their office for local children and their families dealing with the effects of life-threatening health conditions. During the event, each family will receive an “Adventure in a Box” – kits of activities that the organization has put together for the families to enjoy at home.
WHEN: Saturday, June 20, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
WHERE: A Kid Again Central Ohio Office, 777 Dearborn Park Lane, Columbus, Ohio 43085
The organization’s “Adventures in a Box” program provides families with a child facing a life-threatening condition with activity kits to take home and enjoy together.
The event is also an opportunity for the chapter’s families to come together, reconnect and experience a fun afternoon in a safe environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the pandemic, all of A Kid Again’s regular events and outings for their families had to be canceled indefinitely.
Many of the Central Ohio Chapter’s volunteers will attend the event to hold signs and cheer on the families, in addition to balloons, music, and other entertainment. Columbus-based Johnson’s Real Ice Cream will also be joining the event, providing children ice cream out of their ice cream truck. All attendees will be taking proper safety measures during the pandemic.
For more than two decades, A Kid Again has been working to improve the lives of children with a life-threatening condition and their families. The organization provides them with consistent, year-round activities that create meaningful, shared experiences and joy-filled memories for parents, siblings and the child facing health issues. A Kid Again also provides family support, peer-to-peer connections and other resources to help families cope with the extended effects of life-threatening conditions.
