Nova Southeastern University and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital look forward to welcome you to  A Day For Children 2025 which will be held on Sunday, October 19.

The event, which has been a Davie community staple since its inception in 2002, aims to provide free health testing and resources for children from birth to age 16. This health literacy event is powered by our partnerships with healthcare providers such as Joe DiMaggio’s Children Hospital and Baptist Health

For the first time in A Day For Children history, Joe DiMaggio’s Children Hospital will provide free health screenings on their Mobile Health Center bus.

Attendees will be entertained with activities from Young at Art, Preggo Dance, This Is Improv, face-painting from Top Hat Entertainment, and a live circus performance from Florida Children’s Theater and singing from the The Girl Choir of South Florida.

Additionally, guests can interact with various members of the community such as the Broward County Sherriff’s Mounted Police and the Davie Fire Rescue who will be accompanied by the First Responder Support Dogs.

Community celebrity Miss Penny from South Florida PBS KidVision also be in attendance.

Free refreshments by Hungry Howie’s Pizza of Davie.
