Tired of the same ‘ole birthday party? Be the hostess with the most-est that your kids and their friends will enjoy! Be one of the first to have a party with Peppa Pig at The Little Gym, which includes everything needed for a memory-filled day while sparing parents the time-consuming hassles and pressure-filled process of planning a party. And the best part? A portion of the proceeds benefit Peppa’s Charity: Muddy Puddles Project, for pediatric cancer research.  
 
Entertainment One’s Peppa Pig joins The Little Gym to bring you the best birthday party for your little one! In this season of giving, a birthday party with Peppa teaches little ones to use their birthdays as a vehicle to donate to others. Guests may donate to The Muddy Puddles Project in lieu of or in addition to a gift for the birthday child.  What better way to introduce and reinforce “giving to others” to your children!

Charity Event at the Gaga Center

Charity Event at the Gaga Center

 

We hope to see all of our FiDi Families at this special charity event even if it is out of the hood! During this event kids will have fun running around playing the game of gaga and all money will benefit the Ronald McDonald House of NYC. 

What is gaga? Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The more players the better! Somewhat like dodgeball, the game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.

Date: Saturday, April 8th [Read more…] about Charity Event at the Gaga Center

FiDi Families was recently invited to the kick off event for the partnership between AccuWeather and the FDNY Foundation.  The AccuWeather team is helping spread awareness of both winter cold and fire safety during these chilly months. The AccuWeather team was on hand to share weather tips and to educate children. The Chief Executive Officer, of AccuWeather, Barry Lee Myers was on hand to present a check for $25,000 to the FDNY Foundation, in order to support their efforts in fire safety and winter preparedness.  The AccuWeather Ready program is a new year-round weather preparedness program that focuses on keeping people safe and informed. So, we were thrilled to be a part of this new and important initiative.

It focuses on keeping consumers safe and informed. It’s an incredible program that is available to all New Yorkers.
