Just before Christmas we had a kids fun fair located at Orthotic Specialist. With a huge help to Adaptive Movements and our incredible vendors, we had an amazing day giving back to our community. What an amazing turnout we had. We can't wait to do this again next year! We will be doing vendor shoutouts this week, so if you saw something you liked, we will get you connected! Congrats on all of our raffle winners! We had a wheelchair van rental, 100$ Billy shoes gift certificate, PT session with Adaptive Movement and tickets and a fun basket to Jump Street jump park! Also a HUGE thanks to our volunteers. We couldn't have done it without each and every one or you. We are so greatful for you all!
