Plans are underway for Joe’s Kids first dinner, tailgate and auction on Saturday, Sept. 26.

Rebecca Bazzoni, director of Joe’s Kids, is pleased to announce Parkview Warsaw as the event sponsor. “We are excited to partner with Parkview Warsaw for this event and appreciate the value they place on our service to the children of this community,” Bazzoni stated.

Joe’s Kids is a 501(c)3 nonprofit pediatric rehabilitation clinic that provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy to special kids with special needs in Kosciusko County and the surrounding area. We provide care to children with a wide variety of diagnosis, including cerebral palsy, stroke, Down syndrome and many other genetic and developmental disorders.

Preparations started many months ago as we organized a team of volunteers to put this event in motion. With the help of this team and many others, the fundraiser will be held at Winona Lake Trails Meadow on Saturday, Sept. 26. This is a casual, sports-themed event and we encourage everybody to come dressed in their favorite team jersey. Registration and tailgate begins at 4:30 p.m. with a formal program beginning at 6 p.m.

This event has come together because of the generosity of our community and the many gifts that have been donated to make this event a success. A few of the items up for auction are a Notre Dame all-access experience, two tickets to the Colts vs. Patriots game, a vacation home in Hawaii for a week, a spa package and many, many more items.
