Goldsmith Dolphins

Global Game Changers Student Empowerment Program in partnership with The Muhammad Ali Center is hosting the 4^th annual DISCOVER YOUR SUPERPOWER celebration. The event and admission to the museum is FREE and open to ALL families with kids ages 4-12, on Sunday May 20, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

This event teaches kids how to combine their talents with their hearts to find their Real-Life Superpower to give back and help make the world a better place. Families will explore stations hosted by nonprofit community partners, so the kids can learn about causes they care about.

Then kids will also discover their very own Superpower by participating in finding their talents, cape making, face painting, and taking some Superhero photos in the photo booth.

Please let your school’s families know to join us for a Sunday afternoon of fun and empowerment that is made possible thanks to a community committed to teaching our youth the skills of compassion and kindness!

Have a good afternoon and thank you,
