Review for Best Day Foundation, Chesapeake, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Nothing compares to the ear to ear smile of a child who surfs and boogie boards for the first time. For a child with special needs some activities are out of reach. The Best Day Foundation provides access to the ocean for thousands of children and young adults. Best Day Foundation provides safe, fun, activities like surfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, snow sports, and more while building self-confidence and self-esteem. Many families of special needs children could not do these activities without the volunteers that serve as buddies on the sand, transition teams in the water or the surfing and boogie boarding teams in the water. Each child is surrounded by love, support and most importantly, encouragement to do something they might have though impossible. Best Day brings out the best in both the participants and volunteers. Actually, the volunteers will never be the same.
