Rosalie Murrey Memorial Foundation Accessible, Accommodating, and Inclusive Event at Looff Carrousel
May 19 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Free
The Rosalie Murrey Memorial Foundation, a Spokane-based non-profit dedicated to fundamentally changing early learning opportunities for children with disabilities, cordially invites you to an event where everyone can enjoy the historic Looff Carrousel. This free, family-friendly occasion welcomes all visitors on May 19 from 2-6pm. Guests are encouraged to ride the Carrousel as many times as they like during the event, with the requirement to exit and rejoin the line after each ride.
This event is open to all, with a particular focus on extending a warm welcome to children with disabilities and their families. We’ve selected Looff Carrousel as our venue in honor of what would have been Rosalie’s sixth birthday, as it was one of her cherished places to visit. The Rosalie Murrey Memorial Foundation is dedicated to offering enriching and inclusive early childhood learning experiences for children with disabilities. This event provides us with an opportunity to engage with the community while advancing our mission.

- Free pre-registration, allowing families to skip the line for quicker access to the Carrousel.
