2019 was held over the weekend on Saturday 29 between 2-6pm at Pedro
St. James. Over 600 guest attended the family fun day organized by

Nolan Evans who passed from a complex Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
in January 2018.

Mrs.
Evans explained that many parents and kids expressed their joy and
amazement of how beautiful the event and the day turned out. Kids who
attended enjoyed participating in a plethora of fun activities
including taking part in a huge Musical-Chairs competition with
elaborate 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes such as a 32MB tablet. Kids also
enjoyed Kid’s ZUMBA, Miss Izzy’s kids musical on stage
interactions, face painting, snow cone, Kid’s slime sales and much
more. Adults tried their hand at men’s and women’s hula-hop
contests and the more than 20 raffle prizes included an iPhone 7
sponsored by Digicel and a 2 nights stay-cation sponsored by Sunshine
Suites.

Mrs.
Evans expressed that she was extremely happy with this years KIDFEST
and that the event raised more than CI$16,000, which will be donated
to Hart for Hearts the pediatric arm of the Cayman Heart Fund. In the
past 16 months since the passing of their son they have held 3 major
fundraising events KIDFEST 2018, the HEART WARRIORS & ANGELS
BEACH WALK and KIDFEST 2019. To date Team Nolan has raised over
CI$46,000 in donations to the Cayman Heart Fund. In June Team Nolan
in partnership with Artisan Metal Works donated the Nolan Evans
Memorial Bench installed at Health City as a visual reminder of the
importance of raising awareness for Congenital Heart Disease.

Nolan’s
parent’s concept for KIDFEST is to invite kids out to a day of
wonderful fun activities in celebration of the fun spirit of kids
during the birthday month of baby Nolan. Their continued mission is
to champion Team Nolan’s goal of raising CHD awareness and helping
local families with CHD babies. They expressed that they are looking
forward to hosting KIDFEST 2020 and that they are eternally grateful
for the continuous and outpouring of support from the community,
friends, family, volunteers and their wonderful sponsors.
