Be My Neighbor Day is an important part of our local educational initiatives. In its third year, Be My Neighbor Day is a fun-filled family event. Through the event, we offer social, emotional and core concept exposure to undeserved families. Participation in this event helps create a foundation for success for the children served by this project.
At the event, we feature a PBS character visit (Daniel Tiger of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood), interactive booths with hands-on educational activities hosted by other nonprofit, and educational institutions and business partners.
