Popular blog Popular blog PwcMoms.com will again host its popular “Silver Sparkles” event on March 19 from 1-4 p.m. will again host its popular “Silver Sparkles” event on March 19 from 1-4 p.m. at the Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center in Manassas.
The “family fun day” features activities for kids ranging from free minecraft classes from Animated Child to a Game Truck to magician Michael Chamberlin. Chick Fil A Sudley Manor and Bristow will be on hand with sandwiches and the cow. Discounted tickets are available.
All the proceeds from the event go to brain cancer research, a cause near and dear to PwcMoms owner Kristina Kotlus, who battled it herself in 2013. “I am so thankful that I get to be here,” Kotlus said, “and I want that for others who have brain cancer- more days. That’s what this is all about.”
The inaugural Silver Sparkles event in 2014 raised several thousand dollars for research and attracted over 500 people. Limited table spaces and raffle spaces are still available, and a full list of vendors is available on the eventbrite page. Questions about the event may be directed to [email protected].
The current list of vendors includes:
Join us for an awesome day of family fun with all the funds we raise after expenses going to support Brain Cancer Research.
Throughout the day we’ll have free classes in the community room, lots to do in the gym, and even a few outdoor activities, weather permitting. There will be food and raffle tickets for sale, so bring cash (we will take credit cards for raffle tickets, too). Every vendor table has a fun thing for your kids to do, so you can check out local businesses and kid-friendly venues while your kids have a great time playing!
TICKETS ARE PER FAMILY- you will need one ticket for everyone that lives in your home as part of your family. If you bring grammy and grandpa and they don’t live with you, they’ll need their own ticket. I really want this event to be accessible for families, so please be honest about your ticket purchases so that I don’t have to start charging per person!

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
