Fun.® With a focus on socialization, play-therapy, recreation and education, kids, young adults and families have a safe space to express themselves, interact with others and feel a sense of belonging. Families who use the Center have at least one qualifying child who is immune compromised, which often limits them from visiting public places for fear of getting sick.
