"Our goal in this is simple. Every kid at the end of the week leaves saying, 'That was the best week ever,' said Shane McClintock, Events Manager, Tony's Pizza Events Center. "KIDTONY'S is going to be an experience where every child feels like they belong and can contribute. Growing up, I competed in a lot of things, but I wasn't always the kid bringing home the ribbon. That's part of what inspired this. This isn't about participation trophies. It's about every kid knowing they mattered, they contributed, they were part of the team, and they helped create something special."
