“Trunk or Treat” is BACK!



It’s getting spooky at the Center for Connection! Mark your calendars and join us for our 2nd Annual, Inclusive “Trunk or Treat” event!

Scheduled for Friday, October 20, 2023, from 5:30-7:30 pm PST, this family-friendly event is designed with the needs of neurodivergent children and their families in mind. Attendees can expect treats, games, activities, music, stories, and more--all in a sensory-friendly program where everyone can be themself. And, it's FREE!

Help us get the word out and we can’t wait to see you there! And thank you to our teams at The Center for Connection and the Center for Connection and Neurodiversity for helping us make this happen!

ABOUT:

Trunk-or-treat is a safe, low-stress, family friendly activity for all kids. Attendees can collect treats from festively decorated trunks and participate in activities like games, crafts, face painting and more. Our team will be on site in various roles, but identifiable by bug-themed costumes.

“Trunkers” will be ready with decorated car trunks and goodies to hand out to “trunk or treaters”; “Boothers” will host games and activities; and “Regulators” will be available to help folks co-regulate if needed. We’ll also host music, stories from our LA and Pasadena libraries, and connect with local resources (such as @piperandenza, @sweetpotatomusicla, @frankdlantermanrc and @socialcipher, on Instagram).
