Community Calendar

Hosted by KLRN, PNC Grow Up Great, and Fred Rogers Productions, Be My Neighbor Day is a FREE, family-friendly event celebrating what it means to be a caring and kind neighbor.

Children and families will have the opportunity to give back to the community by assembling learning kits for friends in our community, creating “Hello, Neighbor” greeting cards for local community helpers, and participating in other hands-on activities that promote kindness and sharing.

Plus, families won’t want to miss a special appearance by Daniel Tiger a favorite neighbor for kids and grown-ups alike!

It's a "grr-ific" way to begin a lifetime of neighborly volunteerism! We thank you for being a caring neighbor! Can’t wait to see you at the event.
