Kadlec Foundation hosts Kidz Dig Rigz

Kadlec Foundation has teamed up once again with Numerica Credit Union to host Kidz Dig Rigz this Saturday, May 18, at Columbia Park in Kennewick.  Kidz Dig Rigz is a unique, family-friendly event in which kids of all ages can get up close and personal with all types of rigs such as tractors, fire trucks, tanks and more. Child-friendly entertainment will include monster truck rides, tractor ride-and-drives, bounce houses, face-painting, and much more. Various food concession vendors will be present and visits can be expected from many local favorite mascots and Super Heroes.

All proceeds benefit pediatric patients, their families, services and programs at Kadlec Regional Medical Center. Here are just some examples of what event proceeds have funded:

• Transcutaneous monitoring system to track a preemie’s oxygen saturation levels in real time, cutting down on painful pokes and allowing more immediate care
• Five new advanced beds necessary for our smallest premature infants
• Vein Illuminator making finding veins on small, hard to find veins easier for caregivers and patients
• Holiday parties for our pediatric patients with cancer and who receive IV therapy treatments
• Electronics, toys and other teaching items for education, comfort, and distraction for pediatric patients having procedures or surgery
• A Hippo Car Seat, which is a specialized car seat designed to safely transport children with certain casts and splint
• Swaddle sleep sacks, which are specialized specifically for NICU babies and promote safe sleep and decrease the rate of SIDS
• Countless hotel rooms, gas vouchers, phone cards, and basic necessities for indigent families of pediatric patients

This event is made possible with major sponsor support coming from local companies and corporations and volunteered time from local fire, police, military, and countless community leaders and volunteers. See all of our generous sponsors at www.kadlec.org/foundation.
