With your help, the Solomon Family Kid Ventures Fund will bring play, learning and discovery to the kids at Rady Children’s Hospital. We are raising money that will be used to create an interactive play space for children and their caregivers to enjoy within the hospital campus. Rady Children’s Hospital provides care to 91 percent of the region’s children and more than 247,000 children rely on this hospital every year. Kid Ventures is committed to ensuring that these patients have an opportunity to just be kids during their hospital stay. Studies show that medical facilities yield better health outcomes for their patients when social and emotional elements are incorporated in the hospital environment. The indoor play space is projected to feature amenities like those in Kid Ventures, such as a market, fire station, and more.

Kid Ventures was founded by a local mom and dad, Debbie and Darren Solomon in 2008 with the intention to provide a space for children to build social and cognitive skills and stretch their imaginations and muscles in a clean and physically active environment. Debbie and Darren have also brought a ‘mobile Kid Ventures’ to Rady Children’s Hospital in past years which really brought about this vision.

Kid Ventures has served many families across San Diego County fortunate enough to have healthy kids, and they feel the responsibility to use their skillset, resources and success to create a meaningful legacy. Thus, the Solomon Family Kid Ventures Fund was formed.  

Donor investments will fuel this project entirely, and Kid Ventures as well as Rady Children’s Hospital hope to receive help from members and businesses in the community to fund this special project. Thank you for supporting our family's dream!
