The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” rings truer than ever in the midst of the Great Depression 2.0. Summer Jam 831, a benefit for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz, will feature music by DJ Kid Neemo, tons of fun-filled games and activities for kids (like the hands-free Jello eating contest) and an exclusive raffle for prizes like a laptop, skateboard and flip camera. Summer Jam 831 is free to attend, but since it is a benefit, inexpensive food and drinks provided by Pono Hawaiian Grill will be available for purchase. This summer, won’t someone please think of the children?
SUMMER JAM 831 is Saturday, Aug. 13, noon-4pm, Shoreline Middle School, 855 17th Ave, Santa Cruz. Free. www.boysandgirlsclub.info.
