This Saturday, please join us for a carnival to lift the spirits, warm the souls and bring smiles to the faces of the children and families of the Rockaways!

The hurricane aftermath has been particularly difficult for children. Like everyone else, they have have lost their homes, belongings and sense of security and often react with fear, sadness and anxiety.

The support of grassroots organizations to help the physical needs of the Rockaway community has been tremendous. Now it is time to help them find a moment of joy and hope and during a very challenging time.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! We are seeking volunteers, cars and of course performers, marching bands, artists and child-friendly entertainment. Please see the helping form at tinyurl.com/Rockkids or get in touch at parade@winkelstudio.com.

What do we need?
Performers of all types
Marching bands
Face painters
Stilt walkers
Hula hoopers
Delicious food & deserts
LOTS of toys
Good spirits and happy faces

Special thanks for organizations like Occupy Sandy, Rockaway Beach Surf Club, Veggie Island and Rockaway Taco that we’ve seen helping day in and out on the ground.
