As the only hospital in the Washington metropolitan area dedicated to the rehabilitation and care of children with special health care needs, The HSC Pediatric Center sponsors the HSC Kids in Action program to provide athletic, social, and health-based activities for children, teens and young adults with complex and special health care needs and their siblings.

Thanks to this fundraiser’s proceeds, the HSC Kids in Action program will be able to continue to offer year-round adaptive and inclusive opportunities at little or no cost, including adaptive basketball, bowling, sailing, rock climbing, adaptive swimming lessons, therapeutic horseback riding, yoga, and other activities to more than 500
local children with special health care needs. These events help increase physical activity, self-esteem, socialization, and confidence while focusing on each child’s strengths. Our events and activities are often the first experience that our participants are offered to join a team sport or activity with their peers
