NATIONAL MOM’S NITE OUT AT THE KING OF PRUSSIA MALL

Fun Things Kids Activites for Delaware County Moms , Free

KING OF PRUSSIA MALL CELEBRATES MOMS DURING NATIONAL MOM’S NITE OUT EVENT ON MAY 5

FREE event to feature food, fun and lots of pampering for moms of all ages

Moms are invited to a much-deserved night out with the girls at King of Prussia Mall’s first annual, Mom’s Nite Out. On Thursday, May 5th from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. moms will be treated to an evening of pure pampering and fun. Throughout the Plaza and the Court, Mom’s Nite Out lounges will offer complimentary food, cocktails, entertainment, massages, dancing, goodie bags and more. Those attending the event will also be able to register to win over $2,500 in prizes from participating retailers, sponsors and the King of Prussia Mall.

King of Prussia Mall will also be partnering with local non-profit organization, Dress for Success, to host a spring clothing drive benefiting disadvantage women looking to transition back into the work place. During ten days of the Mother’s Day shopping season (4/29/11 – 5/8/11) shoppers are encouraged to bring gently worn women’s professional attire, shoes and/or accessories to any of the Mall’s Customer Service Desks. Those that donate to the Dress for Success drive will receive a complimentary King of Prussia Mall tote bag filled with fabulous goodies.

Fifteen million moms are expected to take part in this national event. Moms across the United States will unite in celebrating motherhood with each other via local and national events as well as cyber celebrations. Organized by Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media, author and Mom Talk Radio host, National Mom’s Nite Out unites social media groups, companies, local playgroups, mom bloggers and networks in giving moms a well-deserved night off. Bailey organized the first National Mom’s Nite Out after watching moms take care of everyone else on Mother’s Day, but never themselves.

“We created National Mom’s Nite Out because so many of today’s mothers spend Mother’s Day focused on catering to the needs of others” said Maria Bailey, National Mom’s Nite Out organizer and mother of four. “We decided that moms deserve one night off from cooking, cleaning and responsibility and need time to celebrate motherhood with each other.” For more information on Mom’s Nite Out at King of Prussia Mall visit: www.kingofprussiamall.com.
