The Muddy Puddles Project is focused on childhood cancer research and honors Ty Louis Campbell, who lost his battle with brain cancer at the age of 5.

The Muddy Puddles Project is celebrating its 5th year of honoring and remembering Ty by hosting an event where kids are encouraged to simply be “kids” and honor his memory by laughing, playing, and getting messy! This special event has been coined the “Woodstock for kids” and shining a light on childhood cancer research is its mission with the help of everyone who attends this daylong festival.
Among the highlights of the 2017 Mess Fest are:
- A special visit from the one-and-only Peppa Pig, star of the hit preschool series on Nick Jr. – who loves jumping in muddy puddles!
