About this Event
Hundreds of adults from all backgrounds will be able to be free and relive some of their favorite childhood games and activities like; relay races, musical chairs, hula hoop, throwback dance contests, double dutch, jump rope, jacks, tug-a-war, arcade games, and other childhood activities on the historic Smith Memorial Playground.
We won't just have their favorite childhood sugary snacks, we'll also have food vendors with vegan options. This experience will be a nostalgic ride back to the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s!
This FUNdraiser doesn’t only raise awareness for Inner Child Therapy but also raises money for The ECO Foundation's Young BUL (Bold Unstoppable Leader) Program. This program seeks to serve structurally oppressed Philadelphians of color by creating employment opportunities for over 200 youth who provide toiletries, community resources, and grocery delivery services to over 300 families a month with limited or no access to resources. In addition to being compensated for this mutual aid work, they are paid (or offered incentives) to participate in social emotional learning, entrepreneurial, performing/visual art workshops, and field trips. With your help we be taking a group of Young BULs to Puerto Rico!
