Join us as we celebrate the strength, resilience, and spirit of military-connected youth during the Month of the Military Child. This special community event honors our “dandelion children” who bloom wherever they are planted. Families are invited to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon featuring free carnival games, interactive activities, and community vendor booths as we show our appreciation for military kids and the sacrifices they make every day. For more information about the event or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Kim Jones at kjones@ppymca.org or 719.622.9622.
