SCYP Volunteer: DelGrosso’s Kids’ Day

Volunteer to help the local Public Media run their Kid’s Day event and earn a free park day pass and lots of Delgrosso’s sauce.
WPSU, the Public Media Station for Centre County, is running their annual Kids’ Day at Delgrosso’s Park and SCYP will be joining this year with some volunteers. We’ll be helping with setup and running activity tables. Opportunities will range from just supervising a bubble blowing station to even wearing the Daniel Tiger mascot costume if you’re interested.
Activities will be outdoors under tents, and water will be provided throughout the day to avoid the weather. Delgrosso’s will be providing a pizza lunch around noon.
All volunteers will receive: 1 free day pass to Delgrosso’s Amusement and Water Park, 1 commemorative WPSU/Delgrosso’s Pizza Sauce, and a box containing a variety of Delgrosso’s Sauces (2 Pasta Sauces, 2 Pizza Sauces and a Sloppy Joe Sauce).

Current Carpool has 5 open seats, but we can look into another carpool if there are more volunteers.
