Ithaca College

On Friday, April 8, Ithaca College will again be hosting its annual Family Carnival, a fun night for parents, children and more. From 5:30 until 8:30pm in the IC Fitness Center, the Family Carnival will feature many great arts & crafts projects and carnival games organized by IC student organizations, including IC Bigs, Habitat for Humanity, Birthday Wish and the Park Scholar program. Live performances will feature ICircus, coed a cappella group IC VoiceStream, the cheerleading squad, and the Traditional Music Club. Food will be available, as well as the best thing to put a smile on a child's face: a bouncy castle and an inflatable obstacle course!

The Family Carnival strives to keep its admission prices low so that this can be an event enjoyed by the whole family. Kids' entrance is $3, adults' is $5, and a group of five or more is $15. 

This year, the Family Carnival will benefit the United Way Philanthropy Corps, who are also coordinating the event. The United Way Philanthropy Corps, an initiative of the IC Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs, works to fundraise and allocate grants to worthy non-profits in Tompkins County. Recent grant recipients from the second annual allocation include Challenge, Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County/4H, Tompkins Learning Partners and the Cornell Cooperative Extension's Parents Apart program.
