Kankakee, IL – A local group of fathers known as the Ordinary Dads will spread both cheer and purpose this holiday season during their annual Christmas Concert on Friday, December 6.
The group will perform at 3:00 p.m. at Aroma Park Methodist Church and again at 6:00 p.m. at Grace Baptist Church in Kankakee, with all proceeds supporting Bedford’s Inclusive Playground, a community project designed to create an accessible play space where every child can play, laugh, and belong.
According to event organizer Jeff Cross, donations are now open, and efforts are underway to produce a digital album and live broadcast for those unable to attend in person. “Every share, every dollar, and every act of kindness gets us one step closer to bringing this playground to life,” Cross said in a social media post.
The “Ordinary Dads” group, known for its lighthearted performances and community spirit, hopes this year’s concert will help fund essential accessibility features for the playground. Residents are encouraged to share the event flyer, attend the concert, or contribute directly via the group’s donation link.
