Join us for our annual Carousel Cares Fundraising Dinner!

Proceeds go directly back into our community programs. Carousel Cares started its beautiful journey as a project aimed to lift up children that face various hardships. We provide ‘packs’ that include lunch vouchers, free ride cards, a little stuffed animal friend and other assorted goodies. We partner with local agencies like CASA, hospitals, foster programs and many more, to make sure these packs go the the kiddos that really need that little bit of extra love.

As time has gone on and our supporters have gotten deeper into the mission with us, our community offerings have grown. We host a number of community programs:

Carving the Future

Six week carving course for high school students ages 14+ provided for free with our Master Carvers. Graduates get to keep their tools!

Sensory Friendly Mornings

Wednesday each week we turn down the music and slow the carousel to support our community members with sensory sensitivities. The carousel is for everyone.

Field Trip Program

We partner with local schools to provide field trips for students, free of charge. We had over 400+ visitors through this program last year alone.

Emergent Community Needs

House fires, kids who need shoes, families that need coats…when we can, we address emergent needs on a case by case basis.

Summer Reading Program

We partner with local schools and libraries to offer free rides to kiddos that utilize the summer time for reading!

100 Holiday Meal Boxes

Because the the deep need, and the generosity of last years dinner attendees, we were able to provide holiday meals to 100 families that truly needed them.

And More!….

We seek to expand and maintain these programs where funding and vision permit. It is thanks to the generosity of people like yourself. We thank you for joining us!
