While the race is only open to those over the age of 18, all ages will enjoy cheering on those who participate. Our Stroller Derby race will be entertaining for all. The public will be able to vote on the most innovative stroller as well as the prettiest “baby.”

Children's Learning Foundation (CLF) is proud to present the Naples BIG Event, a Vegas themed charity casino night at Naples Grande Beach Resort on Saturday, November 13th.
During the Naples BIG Event they will be giving away a 4 day/3 night stay at Atlantis Casino and Resort in the Bahamas.

A key element of our organization is philanthropy. To make a greater impact, we will “adopt” a new charity each year. This year, we have selected Boys and Girls Club of Collier County. Every other month YP Naples will host an event that support our “adopted” charity, so keep an eye out for our fun-filled charitable endeavors!

In addition to these events, we will also promote other charitable organizations at our meetings with a table of informational materials.
