Tampa, FL, October 21st 2007Kathy’s Place, A Center for Grieving Children hosts annual Fall Festival on Sunday October 21st from 2-7 pm at Al Lopez Park in Tampa. This festival will allow us to increase awareness, as well as, raise funds for the programs and services that we provide Tampa Bay area families. Our festival will provide a day of fun, activities, and good food for the community. The day will include games, prizes, children’s activities, a fire truck, entertainment, refreshments, and a raffle. The Bloodmobile will also be on-site accepting blood donations.
Kathy’s Place, A Center for Grieving Children is a non-profit agency that has been serving grieving children and families in the Tampa Bay area since January 2003. We offer grief support and programs for children and families who have lost a loved one. This is a much needed service in our community because, according to national statistics from the 2000 Census Bureau, over 21,000 children in Hillsborough and Pinellas County alone will experience the death of a parent by the time they are 18 years old.
Because Kathy’s Place offers our services free of charge to grieving children and families, we rely on kind donations of time from our volunteers and generous financial contributions from our community.

About Kathy’s Place- Grief Support Program
730 Sterling Ave. Tampa, FloridaProgram Night is held every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 7pm – 8:30pm
Program night is where a community of trained volunteers provide a safe and compassionate place for children, adolescents, and families to grow through grief and bereavement. This goal is met through usual activities such as play, arts and crafts, and conversations. Some activities are with peer groups and some are designed for families. Caregivers are supported as they build a larger community to meet their needs and the needs of their bereaved child.
