Tonight is our Dads & Kids family visit at Manson YI! Last week our dads created artwork that JDPP teaching artist Suzi Jensen ironed onto tiny t-shirts over the weekend! The dads will gift these custom tees to their little ones tonight. This project and so many others are made possible by our generous donors like you. Please consider contributing to our year-end campaign to allow these magical moments to continue happening! give.jdpp.org/campaign/591362/donate
