BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CenterLight Healthcare's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) hosted their highly anticipated annual carnival for participants. This event is a summer staple for participants from multiple PACE centers who come together for a fun day filled with joy, games, and community spirit.
The Rockaway PACE center parking lot was transformed into a carnival complete with games, music, and more! A magician kicked off the event, entertaining CenterLight PACE participants and bringing lots of laughter. Participants also enjoyed face-painting and games like ring toss, axe toss, blow-up basketball, and a dunk tank! Staff took turns getting splashed by participants.
"Es un placer aquí, jugué muchos juegos. Muy divertido!" said Pablo Soriano, which translates to "It's a pleasure here, I played many games. Very fun!" Soriano is a participant who attends the center every week. Like many of his peers, he was excited to spend time with his friends, play games, and win prizes.
