The annual Swim for Brooke is an awesome family-focused event. It is a great way to have fun and support wonderful children's charities across South Louisiana.

We were thrilled to receive a call last year that our program, JoJo's Hope, a swim program for individuals with disabilities was selected as the beneficiary of The Brooke Erin Posey Foundation 2023 Swim-A-Thon. We were invited to attend their regular meetings planning the event. This organization is first class; organized, dedicated and passionate about keeping Brooke's memory alive in supporting non-profits benefiting children in the GNO area. Their enthusiasm dedicated to the swim-a-thon is second to none. They provided us with an estimate they hoped to raise, and the final tally exceeded everyone's expectations. We highly recommend supporting The Brooke Erin Posey Foundation, as a volunteer, donor and certainly participating in the annual Swim-a-Thon. You will be guaranteed to have a blast.

I have worked with the Brooke Erin Posey Foundation for the past two years, and it has been such a joy. The positive impact they're making on the lives on children and young people in the New Orleans area is truly humbling and inspiring. I cannot say enough good things about the organization.

This is one of the most fantastic community-driven non-profits in the area. Across multiple years the BEP Foundation has assisted many local non-profits with their funding. Every time I get a call back to assist with their campaigns I am thrilled to be a part of something that is just so wonderful. Excited to see what is in store for the next years!

I volunteer with this nonprofit by helping fill bags with their Brooke's Kindness Bags program as well as with their annual swim-a-thon. This nonprofit loves the children of our community whether it's providing the bags, hosting the swim-a-thon or giving books to the local little libraries.

This nonprofit was created to honor Brooke - a beautiful girl who left us much too soon. The behind the scenes work that goes into the annual Swim-a-Thon is simply amazing. Each year the proceeds from the Swim-a-Thon go to a different local charity. This year all proceeds go to Angel’s Place. I enjoy volunteering with this foundation and will do so for many years to come.

While only a few years old, this non-profit is making a difference in the New Orleans area though fundraising to support other local non-profits that support children! Being one of the lead volunteers in one of their main fundraisers, the Brooke E. Posey Swim-a-Thon, has been a pleasure. This is a great event and where this non-profit began!

Every year their Brooke E. Posey Swim-a-Thon continues to grow and raise awareness for some great local charities in the New Orleans area. This year, the 4th annual, they went virtual due to covid and it was a success. They raised over $12,000 for the local Ronald McDonald House! We cannot wait to see how they raise the bar for next years event!

The Brooke Erin Posey Foundation truly embraced the chance to pivot with their Swim For Brooke Swim-a-Thon. I loved how they found creative ways for children and adults to participate from afar and raise money for a children's charity. It was fun and I can't wait to participate in next year's event.
