Columbia Park was a sea of smiling faces, honking horns and pure enjoyment from Kidz Dig Rigz event attendees, vendors and participants May 19 and 20 – all in support of raising funds for pediatric services at Kadlec.

In its eighth year, Kidz Dig Rigz, a fundraising event of Kadlec Foundation, has continued to receive generous community participation around this impactful event including grossing over $95,500 from sponsorships and attendance. Attendees enjoyed climbing on and exploring all kinds of big rigs, taking monster truck rides and enjoying our partner vendors.
​
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the success of another Kidz Dig Rigz event,” said Whitney Clark, development officer for Kadlec Foundation. “Our sponsors and attendees stepped up in a major way to provide significant funding towards pediatric equipment, programs and services for kids at Kadlec.”

Some past items purchased with event proceeds have included:
  • Swaddle Sacks – to promote safe sleep for the most fragile of newborns
  • Transcutaneous Monitoring System – to monitor real-time blood gases of infants in the Neonatal ICU
  • Ambuascope Vein Illuminator – to ease access for draws and IVs for the tiniest veins
  • Preemie Car Beds – to safely transport preemies in vehicles until they are physiologically ready for an infant car seat
  • Bereavement Support – for parents and children coping with the loss of a baby in womb or after birth
  • Toys, giveaways and parties – to make life a little easier for pediatric patients hospitalized during holidays and birthdays
For more information about Kidz Dig Rigz, contact Whitney Clark, development officer at whitney.clark@kadlec.org or (509) 942-2188 or visit https://www.kadlec.org/foundation/events-and-news/kidz-dig-rigz.
