"Do it for the Kids" WVCA -Wyoming Valley Children's Association 5K Run and Kids Fun Run

"Do it for the Kids" WVCA -Wyoming Valley Children's Association 5K Run and Kids Fun Run

Children are the future. Programs that help children develop to be the best they can be need support. The proceeds from “Do It for the Kids” are used to offset the costs of providing therapy, education, and related services to children with developmental disabilities such as autism, speech delays, and Down Syndrome.

We are celebrating Month of the Young Child at Wyoming Valley Children’s Association (WVCA). It is a time to honor young children, and the families, teachers and other adults who are working to improve opportunities for young children.  That’s why we’re inviting you to help us support our 20th Annual “Do it for the Kids” Event.
