The Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County is gearing up to celebrate “Boys & Girls Clubs Day for Kids,” a national annual family event highlighting the value of meaningful time spent between caring adults and children.
Hundreds of kids and adults will join in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County’s celebration on September 17, 2011 at Zao Island, located at 1050 Horse Prairie Avenue in Valparaiso from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Day for Kids will be held rain or shine.
The first 450 people can purchase a discounted family fun activity ticket for $3.00 per person compliments of the Tobacco Education and Prevention Coalition for Porter County. (Tickets will be available at the door for $6.50).
Each ticket is good for one round of mini-golf, 20 arcade/ batting cage tokens, and their choice of one additional attraction, i.e. go-karts, or the giant slide.
Due to the support of the Tobacco Education and prevention Coalition for Porter County, Boys & Girls Clubs Day for Kids will be a tobacco and smoke free event.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is spearheading a national effort to establish Boys & Girls Clubs Day for Kids as an “official day” to celebrate our most valuable resource – our kids. Unlike most, the U.S. is one of the few nations that does not have an official day set aside to honor its young people. This year it is estimated millions of parents and kids will participate in more than 2,000 Day for Kids events held by Boys & Girls Clubs and other organizations nationwide.
