Kids in Action CN Kids in Action is a FREE adaptive sports and recreation activities program for children and young adults with disabilities.

Kids in Action began as an avenue for children with disabilities to participate in structured social and physical activities in the community. As our patients can move through different health care settings, often beginning in an acute care facility and then transitioning to rehab and outpatient therapy, it was identified by many of the families that there was a lack of options for their children to participate in social and physical activities. Parents were concerned that their children would lose newly acquired skills that were recently achieved through their therapy services. As a result, Kids in Action was designed for outpatients and former patients at Children's National Rehabilitation & Specialized Care (formerly The HSC Pediatric Center), along with other children in the DC metro community. The program offers year-round adaptive team sports, social events and health classes for children with disabilities, ages 4 and up in the DC area (including Northern Virginia and Maryland). The program is entirely free to all participants, and siblings are encouraged to participate. All abilities are welcomed, as necessary adaptations are made so everyone can participate, and events are supervised by recreation therapists.

๐ŸŽฑ BINGO was the name of the game Friday night! ๐ŸŽฑ

Our Kids in Action All-Stars filled the room with laughter, cheers, and lots of excitement as they played bingo with friends. The loudest moment of the night? Hearing All-Stars proudly cheer "67!" just because!

From fun prizes to great company, it was a great evening and a reminder that some of the best memories are made together. ๐Ÿ’™

Thank You for Making the 18th Annual Crab Feast Our Best One Yet! It's a long thank you... but every word is deserved. โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ€

WOW!

We are still smiling, celebrating, and feeling incredibly grateful after this year's Crab Feast Fundraiser. What an unforgettable day! Thanks to the generosity of so many amazing people, this year's event was the most successful Crab Feast in 18 years, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude!

First and foremost, thank you to Beautiful Home Services for 18 years of unwavering support, generosity, hard work, and love for Kids in Action.

This year, incredible attendees, donors, sponsors, and supporters helped raise $10,000. Then, in true Beautiful Home Services fashion, they matched every dollar raised, bringing this year's total donation to an amazing $20,000!

Not only is this the highest amount ever raised in the history of the Crab Feast, but it reflects the passion, commitment, and belief that Beautiful Home Services has shown to Kids in Action for nearly two decades. Your generosity has helped create opportunities, experiences, friendships, and memories for countless children and families.

A very special thank you to Andrew, Craig, and the entire Beautiful Home Services family. From months of planning and coordinating, to shopping, grilling, serving, cleaning up, and everything in between, you pour your hearts into this event year after year. The Crab Feast is more than a fundraiser because of you. It's a tradition, it's a community, and it feels like family. We are endlessly grateful for your dedication and for the love you have shown Kids in Action for the past 18 years.

We would also like to send a huge thank you to Quarterdeck Restaurant. Year after year, you generously donate thousands of dollars' worth of crab bushels to make this event possible. Your support, partnership, and belief in our mission help us continue creating meaningful experiences for children and young adults with disabilities and their families.

And let's be honest... the crabs are ALWAYS incredible! Perfectly steamed, absolutely delicious, and one of the things our guests look forward to most each year. Thank you for helping make this year's Crab Feast the best one yet!

To all of our silent auction and raffle donors, thank you for your generosity. Every donation, big or small, made a difference. Your contributions helped create an exciting auction experience while raising critical funds for Kids in Action. We simply could not do it without you.

To everyone who attended the Crab Feast this year, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Many of you have been coming year after year, and your continued support means more than words can express. Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our families, and helping Kids in Action continue to grow and thrive.

To those who attended for the very first time, welcome! We are so happy you found us, and we hope this was the first of many Crab Feasts with our Kids in Action family.

We also want to recognize everyone who purchased raffle tickets, made donations, or supported us from afar even if they were unable to attend. Your generosity is just as important, and we are incredibly grateful for every single act of support.

And finally, to our Kids in Action All-Stars and families:
You are the heart of everything we do. You are the reason we work so hard. You are the reason we plan, fundraise, advocate, celebrate, and dream big. Thank you for trusting us with your time, your stories, your laughter, your milestones, and your memories. Watching friendships form, confidence grow, and families connect is the greatest reward we could ever ask for. We are honored to be part of your journey and thankful every day that you are part of ours.

This year's Crab Feast was about much more than raising funds. It was a celebration of community, kindness, generosity, and what is possible when people come together to create meaningful opportunities for children and young adults with disabilities.

Because of all of you, this was our largest Crab Feast donation ever: $20,000 raised for Kids in Action!

That is simply incredible.

From everyone at Kids in Action,

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

We could not do this without you, and we are already looking forward to celebrating with you again next year! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿ’™

MNRH Adaptive Sports & Fitness and Kids in Action are so proud of each and every camperโ€”for the friendships they made, the new activities they tried, the confidence they discovered, the new adventures they embraced, and the memories they'll carry with them long after camp ends.

We loved welcoming our campers' siblings and friends today for all the fun! A huge thank you to our volunteers from GWPT for leading games and helping make the day so special. And a very special thank you to Only Make Believe for putting on the greatest show on earth!

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy 10th Anniversary to our Adaptive Sports Camp! ๐ŸŽ‰

MNRH Adaptive Sports & Fitness and Kids in Action have been partnering together for 10 summers to put on this incredible camp!!!

Day 3 was another amazing day filled with fun, friendship, and new adventures!

We started the morning with an energetic Zumba session and danced our hearts out. Then it was time to hit the courts for wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis with JTCC, where campers practiced new drills, built their skills, and cheered each other on.

One of the highlights of the day was an incredible drum circle with our wonderful friends from Goodbeatsensemble ! The energy and excitement were contagious!

We wrapped up the day with a camp-wide game of Bingo, complete with some really awesome prizes.

This week is flying byโ€”just two more days of fun to go! We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ€๐ŸŽพ๐Ÿฅ

We sure did STRIKE up a great time today! Camp started with a fun music therapy session that had everyone smiling and participating. Then we headed to the bowling alley, where we cheered each other on, celebrated every roll, and made wonderful memories together.

Laughter, teamwork, and fun filled the dayโ€”we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! ๐ŸŒŸ

What an incredible day on the Chesapeake Bay! ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿšค
Our All-Stars had an amazing opportunity to spend the day out on the water, enjoying a beautiful boat ride with the perfect breeze. Then we docked so everyone could try their hand at fishing!

We also discovered that Kids in Action has some pretty talented captains! Our All-Stars even had the chance to learn how to drive the boat, and their excitement was unforgettable.

Watching their confidence grow and seeing the smiles on their faces throughout the day made this experience truly special.

We are so grateful to Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating for making this unforgettable adventure possible. Thank you for investing in our All-Stars and giving them memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to do it again! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿšค
