This spring, Double Good Days is returning to the Kohl Children’s Museum in north suburban Chicago on Sunday, June 9, 2024, bringing joy with a purpose to even more families of children with unique challenges.

From the outset, the Double Good Kids Foundation’s mission has been clear: to tilt the playing field for children with special needs, ensuring they have the same opportunities for athletic, educational, and extracurricular activities as their peers. On October 1st, Double Good Days became the embodiment of that mission, a momentous event where barriers vanished and possibilities flourished. Hundreds of children with special needs, along with their families and caregivers, came together at the Kohl Children’s Museum for a day filled with joy and purpose.

When the Double Good Kids Foundation was established in 2017, founder Tim Heitmann and his wife, Natalie, had big plans for its future. Since then, the Foundation has been making strides in its mission to tilt the playing field for children with special needs so that they too can equitably participate in athletic, educational, and extracurricular activities and experiences.
