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 are looking forward to hosting KIDFEST 2020 and that they are eternally grateful for the continuous support of the community.
