Special Needs Family Picnic June 2

May 31, 2012

On Saturday, June 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Centennial Park a Walk, Run, Ride Exploring Family Fun event will be held for families with special needs.

In line with the Air Force theme of fitness this event is aimed at fitness for all kids of all abilities. Hill Air Force Base's Special Needs Resource Team has created a course that will be manageable for all walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, canes, crutches, skates, bicycles and more. Everyone is encouraged to bring a bike or skates or at least a good pair of tennis shoes.

"This is meant to be fun for the entire family no matter what their ability," said Tammy Custer.

There will be exciting activities for each child to participate in. Boy Scouts will set up 10 stations along the route. Each station will have an activity for the child to complete. Each child will receive a sash and upon completion of each of the ten activities receive a badge to add to their sash.

The Walk, Run, Ride begins at 9:30 am. There will be a lunch of hot dogs, chips and drinks served at 11:30. Two bounce houses will be available as well as the splash pad and regular park playground equipment.

To RSVP for this event call the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 801-777-4681 or contact Tammy Custer, 801-586-2611 for more information.
