KOSCIUSKO — Oprah Winfrey Boys & Girls Clubs of Kosciusko & Attala County is gearing up to celebrate “Day for Kids.” The annual event highlighting the importance of adults and children spending meaningful time together. This year Boys & Girls Clubs of America is asking adults to Pledge to Play by spending meaningful time with young people and engaging in active play.

In Kosciusko, BGC Day for Kids will be celebrated with parents and kids participating in an event at the Boys & Girls Club.

Oprah Winfrey Boys & Girls Clubs of Kosciusko & Attala County’s “Fun and More Fun” is one of hundreds of Day for Kids events planned nationwide (all events are open to the public). Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Small kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

BGC Day for Kids Pledge to Play aligns with Boys & Girls Clubs of Kosciusko & Attala County‘s overall initiative to help young people become more active – ultimately establishing a sound foundation for success now and later. Play is great for young people. It fosters creativity, imagination exploration and helps kids develop and master various skills. Adults can take the Day for Kids pledge by visiting dayforkids.org.
