🎉 It’s Friendsgiving Festival Day! 🧡
Come roll, hop, and skip your way through our Adaptive Color Walk, then jam out with amazing local musicians! Afterward, grab a bite — or ten — from our delicious food trucks and shop for yourself (or your whole family!) at our vendor market.

Your presence today helps raise awareness for the special needs, medically fragile, and chronically ill community right here in our area. Simply showing up — whether you spend a dollar or not — is a meaningful way to support hundreds of individuals and families.

Today also supports our two organizations, EmpowerKids Foundation and The SPOT, as we work toward two major goals:
1️⃣ A wheelchair-accessible van for Kannon
2️⃣ Raising funds to open a Special Needs Center for our region

Thank you for being part of something truly special! 🦃
