"Join the Fun: Del Carmen Bingo Benefit at Esperanza Arts Center with Snorkkel Whalengton Bilingual Children's Books!"

Author/Vendor;
I had an amazing time at the Bingo benefit for the Del Carmen Foundation! The event took place at the Esperanza Art Center on 4261 N 5th Street in Philadelphia. It was a vibrant afternoon filled with friends and families. The kids had a wonderful time with activities like painting, bubble play, and fantastic music.

The Snorkkel Whalengton story, "Kindness," was a highlight! I loved sharing this tale with so many new faces.

"Stop by the CHOP Pop-Up Shop at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia – where books, community, and joy come together!"

Dear Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,

I want to extend my sincere thanks for the incredible opportunity to participate in the CHOP Pop-Up Shop event. It was truly a remarkable experience! ❤️

The sense of community was overwhelming, with so many people cheering and supporting me. I am deeply grateful to everyone who generously contributed by purchasing a book to share the joy of reading with a child in need.

A special thanks to Marcia Wallace for the invitation and for her continued support of my bilingual book.

I am excited about future opportunities to collaborate and connect further! 📚
