Children’s Day “A Salute to Kids”

The 20th of November, 2010 will see the 3rd Annual LAPD Chidrens Day at Woodley Park in the San Fernando Valley.

The purpose of this event is to promote alternatives for children and to avoid gangs or tagging crews. The non-profit group ‘The San Fernando Valley Coalition on Gangs’ is hosting a children’s day “A Salute to Kids”.  This event will celebrate our children in the Valley by showcasing all of the programs like the Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA, Chivas USA Soccer camp, after school programs, and Recreation and Parks programs designed to offer children healthy alternatives to a gang lifestyle.

On this day, we are expecting over 55,000 people and we will have Radio Disney, carnival rides, rock climbing, film making for kids, entertainment, dancers, a petting zoo, and a resource fair with over 100 programs and activities that focuses on kids.  There will be celebrity appearances including Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson and other cartoon characters.
