Sponsored by Kare for My Kids, a growing non-profit organization, the 7th annual Easter Egg Hunt was held from 1-4 p.m. at Monessen City Park and was coordinated by Director Dennis Hawkins, Jr.

The Easter Bunny made an appearance. He held Aliya (on left) and Zayden, who were there with their grandpap.

Events such as this "exist to create a sense of purpose and self-worth for our youth," according to the organization. Kare for My Kids Convenience Store is located on 601 Reed Ave., Monessen.

The event began with DJ Chris Harris from Donora assigning the many children with their parents and caregivers to groups for different activities. Activities were described as "parent/child interactive" and adults moved through each of them with kids. Kids were split into four groups by age to participate in the following: bunny race, tug of war, arts and crafts, kickball, etc. They concluded the day with the Easter egg hunt. Food was also served, and raffles were held.

Charshria Tartt, sister of Hawkins, said, "These events keep our kids active and give them something to do of a positive energy." Kare for My Kids believes that "our kids are the future and a blessing from God," as stated on their sign-up table.
