EVENTS FOR PLAY
FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
Enjoy fun-filled activities for every member of the family at NC4K events for play! These events include games, snacks, and gift items that are provided at zero cost to you. We invite you to make memories with your loved ones and build community with your fellow NC4K Families at our various events for play throughout the year.
Our Annual Events for Play:
SPRING FLING
Celebrate the spring season with egg hunts for both younger and older children, photos with the Easter Bunny, and tons of snacks and prizes. Our 2023 Spring Fling included hot chocolate, jerseys from Jerseys of Hope, and cookies from Cookies for a Cure!
BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASH
The Back-to-School Bash helps your family get ready for their return to school in the fall. Featuring music, food, and games, this event provides each school-aged child with a new backpack, school supplies, clothes, and shoes. In 2023, the Back-to-School Bash also included haircuts, eye screenings, and family photos.
OSU MARCHING BAND NIGHT
Every year, The Ohio State University Marching Band invites our families to join them at Ohio Stadium, observe a rehearsal, and play group games together on the field. Join the band in marching the traditional Script Ohio, singing OSU’s alma mater, “Carmen Ohio,” and enjoying yummy treats!
TRUNK OR TREAT
At our Trunk or Treat event, you and your family can dress up and go trick-or-treating from car to car, or sign up to decorate your trunk and pass out candy yourself! Enjoy snacks and paint pumpkins as you celebrate Halloween.
REINDEER GAMES HOLIDAY PARTY
Enjoy fun and festivities at our Reindeer Games Holiday Party! In addition to enjoying food, games, and photos with Santa, parents are invited to select gifts for their children at the Santa Shop, and kids can pick out gifts for their parents at the Elf Shop. If your family is currently in active treatment, or within 3 years of receiving active treatment, you also have the opportunity to be adopted by the NC4K community and receive a gift box of presents for the entire family.
