Fun afternoon of friendly races, games and activities for families with children with autism.

We need volunteers to help make this an exciting Family Field Day at Irv Zeid Park in Olivette, MO! This event promises an afternoon filled with fun and friendly competition for children with autism and their families. We need volunteers to help with a variety of activities and events designed for all ages.

This event will encourage friendly competition and build self esteem for kids with autism. We will be celebrating the end of the school year with fun activities where kids will receive ribbons for participating in races such as 50 yd dash, sack races, 3 legged race, and standing long jump. There will also be adult races, obstacle course, and a Tug-o-war.

There will be vendors with summer resources, carnival style games and lots of fun for the family!

Volunteers will be needed to:

  • Cheer on participants
  • Assist with events
  • Host games and activities
  • Support vendors
  • Check-in participants
  • Set-up and tear down event
  • Encourage children

We hope you will join us!
