Kinetic Kids provides sports and recreational programs to kids with special needs and disabilities in the San Antonio and surrounding areas.  Started in 2001 by 2 pediatric physical therapists with 12 patients, Kinetic Kids has grown to serve more than 3,000 kids with over 250 different programs.  No disability or financial situation is ever turned away by Kinetic Kids and each program is directed by a certified physical or occupational therapist and volunteers on a 1:1 ratio to ensure safety and success to each participant. 

The annual Hootenanny is our main fundraiser and raises nearly 1/3 of our yearly budget.  With COVID-19, meeting our goal of $300,000 is especially important, in fact, it is crucial.  This money will ensure we can continue to offer quality programs to kids, scholarships for those in need and provide excellent leadership in our therapists at every program.  

The event includes live and silent auctions, guest speakers and a live performance by our very own Kinetic Kids dancers! The auction at the Hootenanny plays a significant role in the funds we raise. Donors are acknowledged in the event program and on our online bidding system.  This means donors are seen by over 400 attendees at the event plus another 1,000 participating in online bidding.
