CTCN Foundation Supports STEPS Kids with Paddleboarding

The CTCN Foundation, honoring the legacy of its recently passed co-founder Jake Schwartzberg, has allocated a portion of its funds to support a year-long grant for the STEPS program. This initiative focuses on providing special needs children with unique experiences, and this year, it has chosen to introduce them to the joys of paddleboarding through a partnership with Westwind Sailing in Dana Point, CA.

The first standup paddleboarding adventure of the year was a resounding success! The children experienced the thrill of gliding across the water, fostering confidence and teamwork in a supportive environment. This program not only promotes physical activity but also enhances social skills and creates lasting memories for the participants.

Here are four pictures capturing the excitement and joy of the children during their inaugural paddleboarding experience:

The CTCN Foundation is proud to carry on Jake Schwartzberg's vision of inclusivity and support for those in need. This paddleboarding program is just one of the many ways we aim to make a positive impact in the community. Stay tuned for more updates on the adventures of the STEPS program throughout the year!
