Kidfest

Come say “Hello!” to FND POPIN Parent Training Specialist Glenesha Milner for an exciting day of celebrating children at Panama City’s Kidfest! She will be at the Family Network on Disabilities resource table with free information about our services.

Kidfest is a 27-year-old family event that features children’s activities, entertainment, food, and, most of all, fun for the whole family.

More than 100 area organizations and businesses set up various types of free activities for children of all ages, while numerous entertainers showcase their talents throughout the day. Last year, approximately 5,000 people from Northwest Florida and South Alabama attended the event.

Early Education and Care hosts this event each year, with all proceeds benefiting the organization. Kidfest is EEC’s major fundraiser, which not only supports EEC’s programs but also celebrates children and enhances family involvement.

Supporting Youth: Navigating to Adult Healthcare

This webinar is for Youth and their Parents/Caregivers to learn about transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare!
