Big Old Kids Party - Saturday, August 17
Hey Family! You heard it right. The Big Old Kids Party is BIZZACK! A Big Old what now?
The Big Old Kids Party was created to help us heal by bringing out our inner child and celebrate life before the BillS!
This adults only fundraiser event allows folk from all backgrounds to skate, jump in the moonbounce, hit the arcade, compete in double dutch, musical chairs, and dance contests all while eating their favorite retro snacks and sippin throwback themed drinky drinks!
This nostalgic ride back to the 80ās, 90ās, and 2000ās raises awareness for inner child therapy while raising funds for ECOās Young BUL Program.
Join us on Saturday, August 17 for this FREE* event. Hope to see you there!
*Although this event is free to the public, donations are highly encouraged and appreciated.
