Kids for Kids Family Carnival 2006 New York, New York, 5/20/2006

Description:
Think cobblestone streets, New-York-City-chic. For one special afternoon in late May, the Foundation will transform the streets of the West Village and the halls of Industria Superstudio into a carnival playground for “kids” of all ages. This isn’t your mother’s carnival, unless your mother’s carnival included tastings from 50 of New York’s finest restaurants, the opportunity to do arts and crafts with world-famous artists, cookie decorating with stars from "The Sopranos," and cutting-edge interactive activities from the hippest brands in town, all for over 2,000 guests. You'll also encounter a team of "Heroes" (our code name for celebrities from sports, fashion, TV, film, and the NYC social scene) hosting old-fashioned carnival games. Past sightings have included L.L. Cool J reading Green Eggs and Ham, Tiki Barber hanging out with the Power Rangers, Julianne Moore and Whoopi Goldberg officiating the bean bag toss, and Hugh Jackman monkeying around at the Petting Zoo.

For sponsorship information or for advance ticket sales, please contact Jayme Rubright, in the Foundation’s NY office at jayme@... or 212-682-8151.
