Fun in The Sun for Everyone Returns!

After losing a year to the pandemic, we were SO happy to bring back our favorite summer event, Fun in the Sun for Everyone!

Fun in the Sun for Everyone is a community wide, inclusive day at the beach for people with and without special needs, of all ages! In other words, ALL are welcome! We surf and paddle board and boogie board, build sandcastles and play tug of war. There is face painting and photo ops and even a mermaid!

It is truly one of a kind and the best day, made possible by the army of volunteers who join together to bring the fun to life!

This years event took place in September rather than our usual June summer kick off date. We were unsure what the turnout would be like but were thrilled to see over 200 smiling faces, both new and familiar!

The pictures are truly worth a thousand words.

Unique to this years event was an art installation we called “The Tree of Hope”. Participants decorated oyster shells, collected and cleaned by the Rays, with a message of hope and sunshine. The tree is now located at our local Children’s Museum where the Rays have plans to help turn it into a permanent piece!
