The Florida Center for Early Childhood invites the public to attend its Build Them Up Family Festival, sponsored by Jon F. Swift Construction, on Tues., April 26, 3 pm – 7 pm at its Sarasota Campus (4620 17th Street.) 

Free family-friendly entertainment will be provided to attendees including a DJ, bounce houses, face painting, food trucks, games, and a petting zoo. 

The event will kick off the 24-hour Giving Challenge happening from noon to noon April 26-27. During this time supporters will have the opportunity to TRIPLE their impact as all donations to The Florida Center will be matched 2:1, thanks to The Patterson Foundation and an anonymous donor. Giving Stations will be situated throughout the festival with volunteers to help guests contribute to The Florida Center’s programs, which focus on infants and children, birth through fifth grade, who need therapeutic services or other specialized support 

The Florida Center is committed to helping local children by providing families with a strong foundation to support the healthy development of their children. But strong foundations need support! YOU can Be the One to Build Them Up by visiting www.GivingChallenge.org and selecting The Florida Center as one of your benefiting charities. 

The Giving Challenge is hosted by the Sarasota Community Foundation, with giving strengthened by The Patterson Foundation.
