Syracuse, NY – The Onondaga Community College Athletic Department will be hosting Kids Night Out! From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, November 21st in the SRC Arena and Events Center on the Onondaga campus.
Kids Night Out! will be a fun-filled evening with a wide range of activities, including basketball, soccer, lacrosse, dodgeball, kickball, relay races, a dance party, face painting, bracelet making, arts & crafts, and more. Children will be supervised, coached, and mentored by student-athletes and coaches from Onondaga’s 15 varsity athletic programs. Concessions will also be available for sale throughout the evening. The registration fee for Kids Night Out! is $25 per child, or $40 for two children from the same family.
All proceeds from Kids Night Out! will benefit the Rob Edson Endowment for Leadership and Excellence. Rob Edson was the Director of Athletics at Onondaga from 2011 until his passing in 2013. Rob had a tremendous impact on everyone that he came into contact with during his time at Onondaga. The endowment is being established to continue Rob’s legacy of making a difference in students’ lives, and will fund an annual award to a new graduate who has displayed the key attributes of leadership and a commitment to excellence.
