It was all splashes and smiles at this Summer's So Kids SOAR (formerly Dreams for Kids DC) adaptive water sports clinic with On The Edge Children's Foundation!
Despite the heat, we had 69 participants (kids with special abilities) and 66 volunteers out on the water. This was our 14th year running this adaptive water sports clinic alongside On The Edge Children's Foundation, Hoffmasters Marina, Robert Kasper, Lake of the Woods Adaptive Water Sports Foundation, Prince William Marina, Chessie Marine. A BIG Thank you to this year's presenting sponsors Power Home Remodeling and the Arnold F Baggins Foundation; as well as, supporting donors Highwind Impact Fund and RBC Wealth Management. It was a special day. And being able to create memories like the one below is why So Kids SOAR exists.
"Good afternoon. We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the Adaptive water sports day in Virginia. Neither of my kids had been water skiing before and it was our first time attending the event. By the end of the day, both kids had taken at least one run. Both of my kids left that day with huge smiles! We are so thankful for your organization, the experience and are looking forward to trying tubing next year. :) "
