Local Charity Delivers Battery-Powered Cars to Children with Disabilities

A local charity is making a significant impact by providing battery-operated cars to children with disabilities. On March 13, 2024, Variety, the Children’s Charity of Alberta, organized an event at the West Edmonton Mall’s Starlight Casino to celebrate the launch of its Go Baby Go program. This initiative aims to enhance mobility and independence for children with specialized needs.

The event offered sponsors, volunteers, and media representatives a unique opportunity to witness the joy that mobility can bring to these children. According to a news release from Variety, “The Go Baby Go program offers a unique opportunity for sponsors, volunteers, and the media to witness firsthand the joy and newfound independence that mobility can bring to children with disabilities.” The charity emphasized that the day was filled with fun, teamwork, and heartwarming moments, aiming to leave a lasting impact on everyone in attendance.

Each battery-operated car is customized to meet the specific needs of the child receiving it. Since the program’s inception in 2019, Variety has successfully gifted over 400 cars to children with mobility limitations, making a tangible difference in their lives. The organization continues to seek support to expand the program and reach even more children in need.
