Providing food and toys to children during the holidays can be a struggle for many families across America. Due to the hardships of the pandemic and amongst many other reasons, many communities and organizations lack the resources and donations to meet the needs of this growing population.
Colony has supported and continues to assist community-based organizations and local shelters in providing these items to families in need through our annual Bob Balasco Toy and Food Drive. In addition to our efforts in giving back to our local communities, we will also be hosting our annual virtual volunteer event where we will be partnering up with Generus to build and paint toy cars and trucks, jump ropes and skateboards to be donated to children!
Play is essential to healthy child development and helps children remain resilient against the effects of stress and trauma. Around the world, many children do not have access to playthings that are essential for their well-being. During this event, volunteers will work with an artist to design, paint, and assemble toy cars and trucks to be donated to children in need of playthings. Volunteers can work from predesigned models or may customize the cars with their own design. Toy car and truck kits, with all needed supplies, will be distributed to volunteers prior to the event.
Engineering and technology drive our world, yet too many students lack opportunities to explore how everyday tech actually works. Building a Bluetooth speaker introduces students to the basics of sound, circuitry, and electromagnetism — opening their eyes to the science behind the music. When you assemble a speaker kit, you’re helping students tune into STEM with curiosity and confidence. Volunteers will prepare a “Build-It-Yourself” Bluetooth speaker kit so students can experience engineering by building an everyday device. They will learn how circuits and technology come together to produce sound. Bluetooth Speaker kits are provided with all the needed supplies.
Learn how to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce circumstances preventing children from engaging in physical activity. Learn about and celebrate the history and culture of Double Dutch. The jump ropes you assemble will provide resources to afterschool programs to engage children in physical activity and outdoor play. Volunteers will create jump ropes to be donated to programs which support healthy lifestyles and active outdoor play for children. Jump rope kits are provided with all the needed supplies.
Our hosts are brought from the stages of Broadway, national television shows and more. They thrive in creating dynamic environments that will get your team excited to volunteer and bond together for an inspirational event. Hear from the stars of Mary Poppins, Wicked and more!
