PT Kids Night Out Event

Elevate PT Kids Night Out! 

We are a group of students in NAU’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program with ambitions of working with the pediatric population, a strong desire to serve our community, and a passion for bettering the lives of children with disabilities and developmental delays. Our annual Kids Night Out event is a free, fun, evening of activities such as trampolines, foam pits, obstacle courses, and sensory stations.

Our events this year were such a success that we want to host two events this upcoming academic year.

During our Kids Night Out events, each participating child will get to play with two DPT student volunteers for an hour under close supervision of pediatric therapists from the community. 

Kids Night Out is designed as an opportunity for kids with disabilities to “just be kids for the night," create community among the parents and families, and allow DPT students to get hands-on experience with pediatric physical therapy. 

Help Us Reach Our Goal!

We are reaching out to our community for support for our events! With your helpwe can make these memorable nights free for all the children, volunteers, and community therapists.

A gift from you on NAU Giving Day would help us:

  • Purchase commemorating t-shirts for all the participants and therapists
  • Buy snacks and goodie bags for the kids
  • Secure the venue space
