Special Kids Day: A Heartwarming Annual Event by District 4-C3

District 4-C3 proudly hosts Special Kids Day, an extraordinary annual celebration dedicated to children and adults with emotional, developmental, and physical disabilities residing in our district, along with their families and caregivers.

This heartwarming event is a collaborative effort by our local Lions Clubs, whose members generously contribute their time and resources to create a day filled with joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.

Exciting Games, Face Painting, Creative Crafts, Jump House Fun, Music and Entertainment, Costumes, Gift Bags, Cotton Candy and Ice Cream and warm Delicious Lunch

We, the NorCal Helping Hands Lions, proudly participated in our District's Special Kids Day! Our team brought smiles and joy to the kids with creative face painting and enchanting Disney costumes. Beloved characters like Mickey, Minnie, Bunny, Panda, Barbie, and many more came to life, making the day even more magical and memorable for everyone.

It was a heartwarming experience to contribute to this special event and witness the happiness it brought to the children and their families!
