Caring Bunny™ is on Sunday, March 26 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. will offer families that have children with special needs a subdued environment to participate in the Bunny Photo Experience. Caring Bunny, the largest program of its kind, has been developed by Simon and is guided by AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community. Over 90 Simon® properties will host the Caring Bunny this season. Autism Speaks provided promotional assistance. Many steps will be taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for children’s cherished visit with the Bunny. The subdued environment is likely to include:

• Turning off in-mall music and dimming the lights for the duration of the event.
• Eliminating queue lines through the use of a numbering system.
• Special activities during the ‘wait’ period to help the child understand what activities will occur during the visit.

“We love to hold family-friendly experiences and we always look forward to watching children interact with the Bunny at Easter,” said Betsy Edwards, director of marketing and business development at Stoneridge Shopping Center.

The sponsors for the 2017 Bunny Photo Experience are The Gymboree Corporation – including its Gymboree and Crazy 8 children’s clothing brands and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment which is celebrating the highly-anticipated release of “Sing,” available on Digital HD March 3rd and on Blu-ray DVD March 21st. Come visit the Simon Easter Photo Experience and receive a fun-filled activity sheet, a custom Sing holiday headband, and watch highlights from the movie.
