One of New York’s most anticipated spring time events --- the Kids for Kids Celebrity Carnival and Street Fair to Benefit the Elizabeth

Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation will take place at Manhattan’s INDUSTRIA SUPERSTUDIO on Saturday, May 7th. Celebrities from the

 worlds of film, fashion, television, sports, art and society will come together to volunteer their time as “heroes” working carnival-style game

booths to raise funds for pediatric research. In past years, guests have been treated to such one-of-a-kind moments as Julianne Moore

dancing with “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Michael Douglas trying his hand at “Knock ‘em Down”, and Natalie Portman taking a spin on the

“Color Wheel”.  In addition to interacting with their favorite celebrities, guests are treated to an array of culinary treats from over 40 of New

York’s finest restaurants including BondSt, 66, Dos Caminos, Strip House, Gramercy Tavern, and more.  The Kids for Kids Celebrity Carnival

is 100% underwritten by the Bandai Foundation, ensuring that every dollar raised is directed to the Foundation’s life-saving pediatric programs. 

Major sponsors include Steven and Alexandra Cohen, The Bloomingdale’s Fund and The Macy’s Fund of The Federated Foundation,

Toys”R”Us, MTV Networks, Verizon, Donna Karan, Jon Tisch and Diane von Furstenberg.  Kids for Kids is expected to raise $1.75 million for

the Foundation.
