Our Spring Playdate event for Starlight was a roaring success, graced with sunshine and smiles all around! A whopping 88 of our nurseries joined in, turning their spaces into wonderlands of fun for children and families – all to support the incredible work of Starlight. From sponge tosses to Easter hunts, the activities were a hit!
Our staff went above and beyond, donning bunny costumes, showcasing their baking talents, and even braving pie-throwing contests. Their dedication and love were truly the heartbeat of this event. A huge shout-out to our community, families, and local businesses whose generous donations for raffles, silent auctions, and presence added to our success.
The festivities ranged from ‘Dress Bright for Starlight,’ baby photo contests, to sponsored bike rides and even a ‘Name the Cow’ challenge! Not to mention the Easter bonnet competitions, bouncy castles, and superhero hunts that brought endless giggles and joy.
Coming up later this week, we’ll be celebrating the creativity and spirit of our nurseries with awards for the Wackiest Fundraising Idea and Best Decorated Nursery. Plus, we’ll unveil the grand total of our fundraising efforts!
