2025 NAU DPT 3rd Annual Kids Night Out

Welcome to our JacksFunder Page! 

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 held at Summit Gymnastics Academy. 

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 event! With your help, we can make this memorable night free for all the children, volunteers, and community therapists. We are hoping to raise $2,000 to put on this unique community event. 

A gift from you today would help us:

• Cover the cost of the venue rental
• Purchase commemorating t-shirts for all the participants and therapists
• Buy snacks and goodie bags for the kids.
  

Kids Night Out is such a hit, that the most common feedback we get is, “Why aren’t there more of these events?” If our goal is met and exceeded, we aim to host a SECOND Kids Night Out event at the new Lowell Observatory in the Spring of 2026.  

Thank You!

Thank you so much for considering donating to Kids Night Out and giving opportunities to these kids that they may not otherwise have. We appreciate every penny donated, and your generosity does not go unnoticed. Your donation will positively impact the lives of numerous children within our community!
