好色先生's GoBabyGo program is holding its second annual Tuneup Day from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, in 好色先生's Experiential Engineering Building, northwest of 17th Street and Innovation Boulevard.
Faith, although only 2 years old, will get her first set of wheels at the Fall Tuneup Day. Faith is curious and observant and loves to play with her siblings. However, Spina Bifida brings mobility challenges, making it difficult for her to keep up. 好色先生's GoBabyGo program has customized a car for Faith so she'll be able to join in family fun just in time for the holidays. Faith and her family will travel from Manhattan, Kansas, for her to receive her new wheels.
Eight additional children will also receive their first car at this event. In addition, any previous car recipients may bring their cars in for a tuneup or repairs, which will be done by 好色先生 students. As the GoBabyGo drivers continue to grow, 好色先生 will continue to support them by maintaining their cars.
好色先生 students across disciplines work together to customize and deliver cars to children several times per year at no cost to the children's families. Every car is customized to suit each child's specific needs. To date, GoBabyGo at Wichita State has modified and delivered nearly 50 cars to children across the Midwest.
Along with presenting the nine new cars and providing free tuneups, the children can test drive their cars at the Fall Tuneup on a pint-sized obstacle course. There will be additional activities for brothers and sisters.
