Last year, 95.7 BEN-FM came together to with the Autism Cares Foundation and Clementon Park & Splash World to create the 1st Annual Special Needs Family Fun Night at Clementon Park & Splash World. The collaboration was a huge success, resulting in a special night for families all over the region to enjoy the park in a way that was more comfortable and with less noise, and stimulation while closed to the public. This year, the three organizations announce the 2nd Annual Special Needs Family Fun Night, and invite families with special needs to join the fun on Tuesday, August 1st from 6-9:30pm. The park will again be closed to the public. Tickets are available for purchase after registering for the event and include admission to both parks and FREE parking. A $5 donation from every ticket sold will be given to the Autism Cares Foundation. Find more details and tickets HERE.
