THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TO THE 4th ANNUAL MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM FOR KIDS DC FUNDRAISER! This year, we were able to raise around $6,000 for our monthly adaptive clinics for children with disablities - we are still awaiting some donations and sponsorships that are coming in as we speak! Your money went toward putting on a wonderful golf clinic the day after at Stone Wall Golf Course! All children were treated to a bout with GOLFZILLA and a pasta dinner!
Furthermore, the funds we raised Saturday night will go toward funding our DC United soccer clinic on October 5th AND our therapeutic horse riding clinic on October 26th! Without your help, we could not create these life-changing and FREE experiences for hundreds of children with disabilities in the DC area!
Thank you again for attending and supporting Dreams for Kids DC!
Thank you again to our incredible sponsors: The Huxley, Got Your Back Chiropractic, Ferrari Legal P.C., and Brian Gaister!
As always, please keep us in mind for your holiday contributions! We are a small nonprofit providing free programs and could use any little bit that is given to us :)
