Join RocksforRyan and Macaroni Kid
for a Fun Day Painting Rocks

Who doesn't like to paint rocks? They are a blank slate, and we can do anything with them. Kids love painting them and there's no right or wrong way to do it. We're combining the fun of being creative and painting rocks, with a good cause, to make this an event you won't want to miss. Once painted. the rocks will be distributed all around, bringing joy to everyone that finds one. For those that find them, we'd love for you to let us know by posting them on the Facebook page.

Where: Carmichael Library 5605 Marconi Ave Carmichael 95608
When: April 8 2:30-5pm
FREE

    



RocksforRyan is raising awareness for long lq syndrome, and supports SADS. The condition increases the risk of an irregular heartbeat, which can cause fainting, or even sudden death. It's a cause very dear to her, and one everyone should be aware of. You can be born with it, or develop it later in life. It affects 1 in 7,000 people, and results in about 3,500 deaths per year. Many people that die from it never knew there was a problem. 
SADS is the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome Foundation. They work to save the lives of young people with hereditary heart rhythm disorders.
