Bethany + Bridgeview brought together more than 200 children—foster families and community families alike—for a joyful, laughter filled Easter at Modern Woodmen Park yesterday.

We saw so many moments that remind us just how powerful connection and belonging can be.

Here’s some of those moments condensed into a cute video. 🐰

More than 200 "peeps" enjoyed our first QC Easter Egg Hunt yesterday! Thank you to our media sponsor KWQC TV6 News, as well as the Quad Cities River Bandits and Modern Woodmen of America!

The event featured thousands of colorful eggs and prizes for children of all ages besides a chance to take a picture with the Easter Bunny and more.

Bethany + Bridgeview’s first annual egg hunt was filled with laughter, fun, and so many unforgettable moments. We are so grateful to be able to host the first ever egg hunt at Modern Woodmen Field!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing community for showing up, supporting, and celebrating with us. Events like this are only possible because of YOU. 🥰

And of course, thank you to our wonderful sponsors, KWQC, Modern Woodmen, and the River Bandits, for helping bring this day to life. Thank you to all of our donors and thank you to all our volunteers as well. We couldn’t have done this without you all; every bit of time and effort truly added up.

Community is what matters at the end of the day and this was a sweet reminder of how special it is when we all come together.

We’re already looking forward to next year. 💐🐰

Come say hi at our Foster Care table at our first annual egg hunt sharing how you can get involved and make a difference in a child’s life. ♡

We’re currently accepting applications for foster parents and you can stop by to learn more about the process, ask any questions, and see if fostering might be the right fit for you!

Not able to foster right now? No problem.

Even just spreading the word or sharing this with someone who might be interested in this journey is such a meaningful way to help!! (Seriously, even just sharing this Facebook post might help reach even just ONE person.)

But days like today are all about joy, connection, and community. And just like the smiles we’re seeing at the egg hunt, every child deserves that same happiness and sense of belonging every day. :)

The hunt kicked off and it was GO GO GO! These kids are sprinting, baskets are filling, and it's crazy in the BEST way 😂💛

There's truly nothing better than seeing our community come together for a day full of fun, laughter, and sweet memories at the ballpark!!
