Explore interactive, educational activities from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and PBS KIDS, designed to encourage kindness, sharing, and creativity. - Joy Card Station
Kids can create handmade notes of encouragement that will be delivered to children and families in transition after the event. - Sock Donation Drive
Bring new women’s and children’s socks to donate to AWAIC (Abused Women’s Aid in Crisis). A collection box will be available at the event and in the Alaska Public Media lobby in the days leading up to it.
