Description
Our annual Hootenanny will be held at Pearl Stable on September 15th this year. This fun filled evening is dedicated to raising funds to underwrite our year-round programs which enrich the lives of over 2,600 children with special needs participating in 213 different sports and recreational activities.
A little bit about Kinetic Kids - it is a local sports and arts organization in San Antonio (serving Bexar, Comal and Kendall Counties) that is unique in its services to children with different abilities as every program has an occupational or physical therapist present as well as multiple volunteers for its participants therefore ensuring each child is not only participating safely, but is also able to reach their full potential. During the annual Hootenanny Gala 1/3rd of their operating budget is raised, it is a great, fun event attended by many of the big San Antonio companies and foundations. The fundraising comes from a silent auction including big board items and a live auction as well as some fun games over the course of the evening.. Here is a short video of some of our programs and our participants and what the program has helped them be able to do - http://youtu.be/kDCTHpEYXZc
Funds raised at this event are specifically earmarked for licensed therapists and scholarships for program attendees.
