Started by BR psychology instructor Kimberly Glackin, All for the Children aims to improve the quality of life for children and families through education, community engagement and celebrating the magic of childhood.

Last year's All for the Children was a scaled-down drive-thru event. “This year, we are excited to resume the family resource fair and egg hunt,” says BR President Tom Meyer. “Families will have the opportunity to see the MCC Wolf and a variety of costumed characters up close or from a distance, depending on their comfort level.”
