Family Friendzy 2027
Our signature annual event! A full day of inflatables, games, food, and fun for widowed families.
Wednesday Win(e)d down
A night to wind down with other widowed parents. Pop in and enjoy some conversation, share some stories, talk fun or talk real - just be you. It's a time to find some company with others who understand the storm of solo parenting.
Family Friendzy:
Our signature event
Family Friendzy is WPRP's annual celebration - a day entirely dedicated to community coming together with widowed families to celebrate life, have fun, connect, and show families they are not alone.
What to expect
Backyard skills games, fun (and sometimes fierce!) competition, inflatables and games for kids of all ages, free food and refreshments, face painting and activities, entertainment, and much more!
Why Family Friendzy matters
For many widowed families, this is a moving moment in which they can tangibly see that they are not alone. Community members of all ages come to honor loved ones who have passed, institute team bonding admist their company or own family, and a blast of a time is had in competing for the beloved title and trophy, "Knoxville Village Champs".
Completely free for WPRP families. Sponsors and donors make this day possible.
