Parent Pass™ App Celebrates One-Year Anniversary through Community Celebration: One-Year Birthday Bash!

  • December 05, 2023

 

In October, the Parent Pass™ app marked its first anniversary. To commemorate this milestone of the first-of-its-kind free parent app, The Best Place for Kids® organized a birthday celebration on Saturday, October 7th at Dream Park in Fort Worth for all ages.   

The first 500 families who registered prior to the celebration received a $10 gift card and anyone who registered the day of the event was entered for a chance to win raffle prizes. Raffle prizes included four tickets to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, a one-year family membership for Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, $50 gift cards, a 3D printer, a telescope, and various STEM kits. 

Families enjoyed free games, bounce houses, giveaways, food, facepainting, balloon animals, music from DJ GDG Elevated and received free resources from over 20+ community partners.
