NJ 101.5 Radio Interview on 5K race for kidkind and a HUGE Thank You to Event Sponsors

Leigh Ann Errico, founder of Wear the Cape and the kidkind foundation, was recently interviewed by New Jersey 101.5 for the radio station’s weekly segment, “What’s So Great about the Garden State.” The story aired today at 7am, 9am, noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and—if you missed it—you can catch it again at 9pm! An audio clip and the web version, titled “Wear the Cape Hosts Fundraising Event in Warren,” can be found here. From the article:

“We need to focus on the positives in our society and talk about the good,” Errico said.

The movement attempts to show kids how their choices can pave the way for their own success and confidence.

“We want them to see that it’s cool to be a hero and to be kind,” she said.

The group already features close to 1,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, despite launching in the fall.

Errico said the goal is to not only raise awareness about important issues facing our youth, but equip the adults they look up to with the proper tools to teach.

“Spread the word and recognize kids who are heroes and who do the right thing,” Errico explained.

The 5K race for kidkind and Family Festival is just FIVE DAYS away! We couldn’t be more excited to share a special day with all of you to show the kids in our communities that it’s cool to be kind and to embody good character. And a HUGE thank you to all of our sponsors (see below). We couldn’t make the event a success without your generosity and support.

Can’t wait to see you on Saturday!

Choose kind,
Leigh Ann
