This Open Play & Support Day will occur on Saturday, May 16, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event aims to foster a nurturing environment where children can freely explore and play while caregivers have access to essential support resources.

Families will have the opportunity to enjoy the foundation's occupational therapy gym, sensory rooms, and various activity spaces.
