PLANT CITY - A 2-year-old Dover girl born with a hole in her heart will be getting some help Saturday.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Kidz Bounce Zone is celebrating its first year in business and will donate a portion of proceeds from its First Birthday Bouncing Bash to Kaitlyn Gee and her family.

The business is at 211-A W. Alexander St. in the Lake Walden Square plaza, off James L. Redman Parkway. Wristbands costing $2 will entitle children to unlimited visits to a variety of bounce houses. Hot dogs, popcorn, pizza and soda will be on sale for $1 each.

Face painting will cost $1, and proceeds will benefit Kaitlyn, who was diagnosed with a set of four heart abnormalities collectively called tetralogy of Fallot. Kaitlyn also suffers from other ailments including congestive heart failure and pulmonary regurgitation.

Kaitlyn is on a double lung transplant list, and the money raised Saturday will help pay for medical expenses not covered by insurance, said Michelle Gee, Kaitlyn's mother.

For information on the event, call Kidz Bounce Zone at (813) 567-0269 or visit www.kidzbouncezone.com.
