Sunshine, teamwork, and a lot of cheering!

About 40 young people from our Children’s Community Residences came together for their 2026 Summer Games at FDR State Park. They spent the day playing kickball, relay races, tug-of-war, board games, swimming, and more.

Events like these are made possible by our incredible staff, donors, and volunteers. Thank you to everyone for creating a day full of connection, fun, and summer memories!
