Eggsceptional Easter Celebration
Rooted’s Eggceptional Easter is a sensory-friendly, inclusive celebration created especially for children with special needs and their families. Join us on March 28 from 9–11 a.m. at the YMCA Downtown Tuscaloosa Playground (2300 13th Street) for a calm, welcoming Easter experience designed with intention and care. Families can enjoy a thoughtfully structured egg hunt, sensory stations, crafts, and space to move at their own pace in a low-stimulation environment. Our heart is simple: every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. We are so grateful to Autism Support of Alabama and the YMCA for helping us make this morning possible, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
Help us make this event a success and volunteer today!
Our event is free to the public. If you would like to make a donation, please send to our general fund for future events and programs.
