While brain injuries can affect people of all ages, traumatic brain injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults. In fact, children ages 0 to 17 years old accounted for almost 10% of all traumatic brain injury-related hospitalizations around the U.S.
Holton's Heroes helps these children attain expensive therapy equipment that will improve their quality of life today and well into the future. Your support of this year's Holton's Heroes bi-coastal fundraiser is paramount to our continued ability to help families in all 50 states.
Just like last year, we are hosting a family-friendly fundraising event in two cities: Los Angeles, CA and Philadelphia, PA. We invite all eastcoasters to meet us at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, October 22nd for an incredible morning to raise awareness & funds for the bravest people we know: pediatric brain injury survivors!
Come prepared to have a good time as we'll have a DJ spinning the latest hits! Plus, our event will feature a specially curated selection of tasty delights & beverages from Jack & Jill Ice Cream, Wawa and other amazing brands will be on site to satisfy the tastebuds of guests of all ages for free!
Our event will also feature fun carnival games, raffles prizes, face painting, pumpkin painting/decorating, as well as special performances by the ZZ Ambassadors and the BYC Spirit Cheer team. Additionally, the incredible people of Sykes and Lanno Beauty will be present to offer professional hand massages!
