Gingerbread Jamboree

Join us Decem­ber 8 for a few hours of family fun. The Ginger­bread Jamboree has a target audi­ence of kids who can ​‘play for pedi­atrics.’ Vari­ous games and activ­i­ties are set up through­out the west atrium of the hospi­tal. As kids partic­i­pate in the games, they earn tokens which are then turned in. These tokens are redeemed dollar-for-dollar for the Pedi­atric Depart­ment at Ivin­son. There aren’t any costs to partic­i­pat­ing in the event (unless you want to regis­ter for the live gingerbread-building).

Activ­i­ties include the following:

• Vari­ous games of all skill levels
• Visit Santa and Mrs. Claus
• Hot choco­late bar
• Color­ing and creat­ing cards for patients at Ivin­son over the holi­day season
• Live ginger­bread build­ing contest

The live ginger­bread build­ing compe­ti­tion is also held in the cafe­te­ria of the west atrium at Ivin­son. Teams of four compete to take home the coveted Ginger­bread Jamboree Cham­pion trophy. All mate­ri­als are provided, and the best struc­ture will win the prize. A total of twelve teams are avail­able to enter, on a first-come, first-served basis. Team entries are $100 each.

Each year, the Gifts of Giving campaign invites commu­nity members like you to support the Ivin­son Memo­r­ial Hospi­tal Foun­da­tion in help­ing our hospi­tal provide the best care to our community.
