Hi, Friends!

PARTICIPANT SPOTLIGHT

June marked the celebration of Loveland's 1st Annual Sports Day, a unique opportunity that brought all 4 Loveland locations together to improve gross motor skills, strengthen team work, and make new friends. Loveland Venice, North Port, Port Charlotte, and Bradenton program participants competed in volleyball, softball, badminton, corn hole, and basketball.

Who knew a work out could be so much fun!

Sports Day was made possible thanks to a grant from Suncoast Charities for Children.
