The event will feature free parkour, tiny flyers (ages 3 – 5) and flying trapeze experiences for all ages and abilities, delicious Jamaican food provided by Kool Runningz, music, and hands-on opportunities to learn about LEAP’s comprehensive approach to family support, from early childhood education to community resources.
“We’re thrilled to invite the Santa Barbara community to fly with us and learn about the powerful ways that supporting families can change entire communities,” said Lori Goodman, CEO of LEAP. “This is exactly the kind of event we love—joyful, community-centered, and welcoming to all. We want people to come, have fun, and get to know the work we do. When families are supported, kids do better, and the whole community benefits. That’s what this is about.”
“At Santa Barbara Trapeze, we’re all about building confidence, community, and fun,” said Shane Weaver, Co-Founder of Santa Barbara Trapeze. “Partnering with LEAP gives us the chance to support a mission we care deeply about – creating communities where children and families can thrive – while opening our rig to the community for a free day of flying.”…
