The Day for Kids turned out to be a great success for all of our members, every one had lots of fun! We had volunteers from the Jacksonville Junior League and Citibank come out to help with the event. Once Christy and I finally found the NFL YET club we enjoyed being able to interact with the members of the Boys & Girls Clubs! Christy was able to assist with monitoring one of the bounce houses while I took pictures for a majority of the day. The Day for Kids had activities including bounce houses, fooseball tables, pool tables and face painting. After all those activities, the kids and volunteers were treated to a lunch provided by FireHouse Subs and Panera Bread. For snacks throughout the day the kids were allowed to choose from popcorn, cotton candy, and sno-cones. All of the kids seemed to really enjoy the cotton candy! The members had many visitors through out the day including Jaxson de Ville and Madalyn from the Jacksonville ROAR! Jaxson de Ville and Madalyn autographed pictures for the kids. I was able to meet Sargent Ruff of the Boys and Girls Clubs, he was a real hit with the kids. Captain Corn was also in attendance and was the DJ in the gymnasium at the NFL YET club! I loved being able to attend this event and interact with all of the members. I was a little surprised by the amount of teens that are members of the clubs, but all of them seemed to have plenty of fun socializing, snacking and playing games in the game room. One of my favorite memories about the Day for Kids was watching, Dr. Perry, the President of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida, dance to the Cupid Shuffle with the memebers! I look forward to my next event with the members of the Boys & Girls Clubs! If you would like to see more pictures from the event you can take a look at our facebook page! Remember you can Be Great with Boys & Girls Clubs!
