The Tough Turtle is a 5K obstacle course race and annual fundraiser for the Ithaca Children’s Garden. A team of IC3 staff participates each year.

Each July Ithaca College hosts a Relay for Life event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. An IC3 staff team participates as walkers and IC3 assists with activities for children at the event.

The Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes’ mission is to create and sustain a community of support for people living with and affected by cancer. Each year, the IC3 staff participates to help raise money for the Cancer Resource Center.

The Family Reading Partnership organizes a Kids’ Book Fest every year in November. The festival offers a variety of free activities and entertainment for children centered on books. Each year’s activities revolve around a theme, a specific author, and a book based on the theme. IC3 is a regular participant in the Kid’s Book Fest, offering book-related hands on activities for children at the festival.

The Ithaca Festival is a four day music and arts celebration held the Thursday-Sunday after Memorial Day. Each year, IC3 participates in the Ithaca Festival parade kicking off the weekend’s festivities. The Ithaca Festival is a time for local community groups, artists, musicians, and performers to get together and “celebrate the artist in everyone.” IC3 parents, children, and staff look forward making decorations and dressing up to march in the parade each year!
