Do
you have a KID FRIENDLY Business in Pembroke Pines?
The
Recreation and Cultural Arts Department along with Mayor Frank C. Ortis are
planning the 10th Annual Mayor’s Kids’ Day Event in the City of
Pembroke Pines. This year’s theme is: LIGHTS, CAMERA, KID’s DAY, where the kids
are our stars!
The
event will be held on Friday, June 21, 2019. The event takes place in
the City of Pembroke Pines for the residents of Pembroke Pines. On this day,
Mayor Ortis honors the youngest residents by offering a “fun filled” day which
includes businesses and establishments that will offer free services, products
or samples to those children who have pre-registered and are wearing a Mayor’s
Kids’ Day Wristband.
The
event works as follows: each child will receive a wristband from the Recreation
and Cultural Arts Department from designated locations throughout the city
prior to the event day. Then following a set schedule, businesses that have
signed up will open their doors at the designated time of their choosing to
those wearing the wristbands. The list of participating businesses will be
posted on the city’s website. The Mayor will host a lunch for the children at
the Charles F. Dodge City Center, 601 City Center Way. Children will be greeted by a variety of characters
representing different businesses. 10 lucky kids during the lunch will be
chosen to enter the BrightStar Money Machine and win prizes. Once lunch is
over, they will continue to explore the city and businesses. As a business you
decide how much you want to do at your own location. You can offer a service, a
discount or a sample all day or for a few hours. You can even offer your
product to a limited number of participants. The concept is that the children
will visit your business and return at a later date knowing that you honored
them and made them a VIP!
The
City of Pembroke Pines would like you to be a part of this event and help in
honoring the children in our community. We would also like for them to use this
opportunity to discover the businesses and establishments in their
neighborhood.

opportunities.
