1st Annual Holiday Hangout
The Event
You’re invited!!
KennedyStrong Foundation will host 8 – 10 individuals at our 1st Annual Holiday Hangout.
This inclusive event is tailored specifically for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) to practice relationship and connection skills. We incorporate physical endurance and fun with holiday themed games to get our bodies moving, we build confidence and independence in the kitchen by assembling healthy appetizers to be served during the Mix & Mingle portion and we develop cognitive endurance through communication and teamwork skills as we engage with our peers and community partners during the art engagement portion of the event. Over the course of four (4) hours we will get to know each other, build on social skills, enjoy games and activities and finally share the experience with parents/caregivers during the last 30 minutes we call Mix & Mingle.
