1st Annual R.O.C.K.ing Tots Walk-a-thon

R.O.C.K.ing tots is a non-profit organization working in conjunction with the Nicholas R. Chiera Foundation. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society benefiting R.O.C.K (Reaching Out to Cancer Kids) camp, the first and only residential camp exclusively for children with cancer. R.O.C.K. Camp offers campers an opportunity to experience the fun and adventure of summer camp without having to feel different from other kids. R.O.C.K.ing tots was established for parents of pre-school aged children who share in the hope of raising caring, giving and compassionate children. As it is our job as parents to instill this value within them, we have created an organization that will teach our children that they are never too young to learn the beauty of gratification that giving to others may bring to them.

R.O.C.K.ing tots walk-a-thon is designed specifically for pre-school aged children as an exciting way to get our young children involved in learning the value of helping others, while enjoying a fun-filled day at the park.

Children will begin by walking the perimeter of the field, while stopping at juice box, munchkin doughnuts, and fruit stations along the way.  Structured play activities will follow, such as kite flying, play-doh, a parachute with balls, bubbles, and playground time
