Why Me hosts a number of fun events designed to give families the opportunity to meet other parents and children in this shared experience but in light-hearted settings. The bonds of friendship forged between children as well as family members during these events are enduring and have proven to be valuable to family interaction and healing.
Egg Hunt
This event is typically held a week or two before Easter at Sherry’s House. The day includes snacks, pictures with the Easter bunny, crafts, games and an egg hunt for the children.
Bravehearts Baseball Game
Join us for a fun day while taking in a Worcester Bravehearts baseball game at Holy Cross’s Fitton Field. The day includes a BBQ and pre-game activities on-site prior to the first pitch.
Carnival Day
A fun family event with a “fair” type atmosphere. Day typically includes activities, games, DJ entertainment, food, and plenty of time to catch up with other Why Me families.
Spree Day
Each fall the 200 Sportsmen’s Club hosts a Why Me family spree day at its site in Webster. Volunteers are on hand to assist children with the day’s activities including archery, fishing, wiffle ball and more. A BBQ lunch is provided. This event is always rain or shine.
Halloween Stroll
The backyard at Sherry’s House is transforms each year for Halloween. Out Halloween Stroll is for all ages and fun for the whole family. Costumes are highly encouraged and evening includes a stroll around the decorated grounds with stops for activities along the way. Crafts take place inside and of course, you’ll leave with plenty of candy.
Holiday Party
The Annual Holiday Party is our longest standing and largest family fun event. We invite families to meet and socialize during this festive holiday celebration, typically held at the Best Western Royal Trade Plaza in Marlborough. Attendees enjoy games, dancing, DJ entertainment, kazoo parade, crafts, teen activities, special character guest appearances, a lunch buffet, a performance by the Shepherd Hill show choir. Santa and Mrs. Claus deliver presents, pose for pictures and meet with each child.
