Published on September 01, 2026
Naples, FL – September 1, 2026 – Boys & Girls Club of Collier County (BGCCC) is inviting local families to experience the Club in action during Day for Kids, a free community event on Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Nichols Campus in Naples, presented by Sprinturf.
Designed especially for elementary-aged children and their families, Day for Kids will transform the campus into a full-scale family experience featuring inflatables, electric go-karts, swimming, sports challenges, STEM stations, arts and crafts, music and dance, giveaways, free food and more.
Throughout the day, families can explore activity areas inspired by the experiences available to Club members, giving children the opportunity to discover new interests while parents and caregivers learn more about BGCCC and the resources available to local families.
“Day for Kids is an opportunity for families to come through our doors, have fun together and see what makes the Club such a special place for young people,” said Paul Donahue, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. “Whether a child is drawn to sports, STEM, the arts or simply trying something different, we want every family to leave knowing there is a place here for them.”
Families will also get their first look at the new athletic field. Sprinturf, presenting sponsor of Day for Kids, is installing a synthetic turf surface at the Nichols Campus that replaces the existing baseball field and will be ready ahead of the event. Built for constant use, the new surface helps expand access to recreation and provides a lasting resource for the community.
"Sprinturf is proud to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to youth and play," said Donna Kent, Vice President of Marketing at Sprinturf. "A durable field is central to that goal, and we are confident it will serve local families for many years to come."
The event is free and open to the community, with activities geared toward children ages 5 to 10. Guided Club tours and enrollment opportunities will also be available throughout the day for families interested in learning more about membership.
