What happens when you create an amazing array of sensory-friendly and fun interactive experiences for children with special needs, served up in a warm, welcoming environment?
You get some of the brightest smiles you’ll ever see. The kind of smiles that light up the faces of everyone who experiences Double Good Days–returning June 8, 2025, to Kohl Children’s Museum in Glenview, Illinois.
“It’s rare that we’re in a space where we feel so happy and comfortable.”
- Mom who attended 2024’s Double Good Days
Tim Heitman, Founder & CEO of Double Good, and his wife, Natalie, founded the Double Good Kids Foundation, which hosts Double Good Days with the generous support of the Double Good community. The Foundation aims to bring joy to children with unique challenges through fun, inclusive experiences.
“It’s a joyful experience for everyone involved, fostering awareness, exploration and a greater sense of community.”

The third annual Double Good Days returns to Kohl Children’s Museum in Glenview, IL, on June 8, 2025. The free event offers a range of interactive experiences that engage gross and fine motor skills.
Double Good Days features a dynamic lineup of multi-sensory activities, from therapy animals to adaptive sports and everything in between. The inclusive, all-abilities experiences span science, art, music, sports, theatre and more.
This year’s Double Good Days features two new partners: the Special Gifts Theatre and Special Olympics Illinois.
Families can reserve their spots at the June 8 event when registration opens in early May. We’re looking forward to welcoming lots of new and returning families to this year’s Double Good Days.
“Double Good Days has been a blessing to our family.”
Mom who attended 2024’s Double Good Days
Being part of Double Good Days is truly magical,” says Double Good Event Coordinator Alexa Durkin, who will be joined at the event by many fellow employees from the online fundraising company. “It’s such an emotional experience to see the joy these kids feel when they get to participate in fun designed just for them.
