SMILE 4 Special Needs (#251): Pearland My Play Club #30 on Nov. 15, 2025

On November 15, volunteers gathered at Ed Thompson Inclusive Park for My PlayClub #30, a monthly event dedicated to promoting inclusive play.

The afternoon was filled with joy and laughter as families enjoyed face painting, bucket drumming, holiday crafts, and interactive games. Volunteers also supported the LSA Special Needs Caring Center’s fundraising efforts by hosting a booth that sold holiday pet wear, with all proceeds benefiting their job skills training program.

More than 80 children and their families participated, creating a memorable day of play, connection, and community. Beyond the fun, the event nurtured an environment where children of all abilities could interact, build friendships, and experience a true sense of belonging.
