For the Love of the Kids

MAR 2020

On March 6, 2020, “For the Love of the Kids” gathered 100 members from the Fox Chapel Area community to take part in a paddle play day. This round robin play with friends, old and new, provided a fun morning while celebrating what we can all do together. Dr. Hower was our guest speaker at lunch. He provided insight to what we can do together and shared already what our charity has done! We were so honored that so many people were able to come and share this day with us. All money raised will go directly to the families in the Fox Chapel Area School District.
