Disney Junior’s ‘Pirate and Princess: Power of Doing Good’ national tour kicks off July 17 in Philadelphia.
The pro-social touring event part of Disney’s Summer of Service and is to introduce kids ages 2-7 to the value of doing good, caring for nature and animals, and helping others. The tour will also visit Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
“Through the power of our stories and characters, we can help the youngest of children imagine a better world and reflect on what they can do to help others within their own communities,” said Nancy Kanter, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and General Manager, Disney Junior Worldwide.
The tour will engage kids in positive acts that benefit others utilizing characters from Sofia the First and Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Each stop on the tour includes opportunities to create a storybook at the ‘First Books’ Jake and Sofia Storytelling Maze,” participate in the ‘ASPCA’s Sofia’s Animal Friends” activities, and learn environmental conservation lessons in the ‘National Wildlife Federation’s Jake’s Beach Treasures.”
Each event ends with a musical celebration hosted by Radio Disney featuring appearances from Jake and Sofia.
