Kids came in costume to the Toronto Purim Carnival where they had fun while moon bouncing, munching yummy snacks, slurping Slurpees, getting sticky with cotton candy, and winning great prizes. Everyone went home with their own personalized picture T-shirts. Many thanks to GROW Toronto and our volunteers for giving over 150 sick children and their families such an amazing time.

50 members of the Chai Lifeline family attended last night’s Blue Man Group PUT IN Performance. This full length show is a training process for new Blue Man Group performers, and these “PUT IN” performances are an opportunity for them to work in front of a live theatre audience. A great big “thank you very much” once again to their company manager.

Kids had a blast at the Purim World Carnival Celebration in LA this week! Each child received a passport and traveled the world to places such as Africa, Australia, Antarctica, China, Italy, France, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, and the good ol’ USA. Each destination had games and lots of prizes. Galit the Clown entertained the crowd with fabulous balloon animals and families were treated to international treats and lots of Hamantaschen. Special thanks to our wonderful volunteers from Bais Yaakov High School who made this party extra special and fun for everyone.
