“Sometimes, real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles”

"The generosity and offers of support during our time of need was humbling and overwhelming, Colleen and I wanted to turn that positive force into something we could use to annually support many other children.  We have been successful in doing so, and are excited to embark on year three of the event."   - Jordan Patch

---------------------------

August 19th 2018, we dedicated the day to the little fighters in our community, enduring a medical battle, and the many heroes that are willing to support them!  Inspired by the medical journey of Animal Adventure Park owners’ daughter, Ava, this day is to raise awareness and funds to support children and their family - during their unexpected time of need.

Guests are encouraged to dress-up and explore the park as their favorite heroes and remember - not every hero wears a cape! Some wear badges, crowns, scrubs, and even a sports jersey!
 
The park will be filled with participating vendor activity/information tables, prize auctions, children’s activities, live music, love & support.

Proceeds from all fundraising opportunities before and during the event, and 50% of every park admission 8/19/18, will be gifted to selected local families with a child enduring their own fight and that could use “a hero”.

If you can support us virtually through Go Fund Me - THANK YOU!  In 2017, we raised approximately $30,000 via Go Fund Me donations!

Collectively, $40,000 was raised, allowing us to help (5) children at the time of the event, and (2) additional children after the event with emergency situations.

These gifts were made possible by the businesses of our community, park attendance , and ultimately -- YOU!
