Meet
The international non-profit program Go Baby Go! is hosting "Build and Grow" in Ballston on September 17th. Go Baby Go! will be co-hosting this event with Good Beginnings Therapy and Marymount University. Go Baby Go! works to modify and adapt battery powered cars and 4-wheelers to help kids with mobility issues and disabilities move in their environment. The supplies are purchased with fundraising and donations; the actual "building" of the cars is done by volunteers who donate their time. This is a multi-faceted event that brings together ALL members of the community and lets participants share information, build sustainable plans, and build vehicles for children to "drive home" that day. This inaugural event from Marymount University will increase the Go Baby Go! outreach in Northern Virginia. Go Baby Go! is looking for sponsors and volunteers to join them on September 17th as they will build both cars at the Marymount Garage and the foundation for a permanent community infrastructure of support.
