MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. - June 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Tommie Cares Foundation, which builds community, possibility, and connection for those with physical and developmental special needs, is pleased to announce its 2013 kick off events in New York. Tommie Cares will host two free events: one in July and one in August including kayaking, stand up paddling, and swimming.  The July event will be held at Rye Playland in Rye, New York and the August event will be held at Tibbetts Brook Water Park located in Yonkers, New York.

Tom Kallish, Co-Founder of Tommie Cares states, “We are extremely excited to have the Westchester County Parks Department and the County Office for the Disabled as our partners in helping to create these magnificent events.”

Tommie Cares is seeking event volunteers (http://tommiecares.org/volunteer/) from middle-school age to retirees. Whether you’re in the water, on the beach, or helping someone on a ride, you’ll make a difference that will also transform your life. The day begins with a volunteer orientation and safety training. Each event is designed to be safe and provide an opportunity to expand every participant’s potential while making new friends in their community. After an exciting half-day of activities, each participant is honored at an award ceremony.

“I want to thank Tommie Cares for working with Westchester County to create such exciting opportunities for those with special needs,” said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “These events will not only be a great time, but they will open up new possibilities for all who participate. I encourage residents to volunteer to help make a difference in people’s lives.”

2013 Summer Events in NY:

·         July 19th at Rye Beach
 in Rye, NY

·         Aug 22nd at Tibbetts Brook Water Park in Yonkers, NY

Participation for those with special needs (http://tommiecares.org/event-schedule) is limited for safety on a first-come, first-served basis.

“I’m looking forward to sharing some of my favorite activities with those who don’t often get the chance to participate,” said Max Montgomery, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Tommie Cares. “I’m continually inspired by the joy of each amazing participant and the incredible volunteers who help make our events such a powerful experience for all.”
