Families, 2120 Fordem Ave - Madison.
Staff and Board members of Center for Families
have been nominated to complete the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in support of
raising money for the treatment and prevention of ALS, or "Lou Gehrig's
Disease”. To show their support for ALS, as well as raising awareness
for the prevention of child abuse, Center for Families will be putting a new
spin on the challenge. A slimy challenge.
With
the help of the children from the Play & Learn Program and the Respite
Center, staff and Board members will be on the receiving end of getting slime
dumped on them (instead of ice) during the sensory-play activity. For the
children, this sensory-play activity will teach them about physical properties,
practice sharing and taking turns, exploring their senses, learning about cause
and effect, strengthening muscles in hands and fingers, and how to have fun and
hopefully create a lasting memory of community support.
Slimed
participants will be making a financial donation to ASL as well as making a
matching donation to Center for Families. Monies raised for Center for
Families will go to support the fundamental work provided to strengthen
families and prevent child abuse in our community.
