Chesapeake Regional Accessible Boating (CRAB) teamed up with Dreams For kids to provide a great afternoon of sailing on Saturday June 11, 2011. After a brief rain pour, the otherwise beautiful weather made for a relaxing and fun afternoon. Thanks to CRAB's six skippers and our awesome volunteers, 30 participants got a chance to experience the joy of sailing, most for the first time ever. Extend a big thank you to, event coordinator Jabrilla Carr, for putting together an incredible day. The event overall was a success and will deffiently become a permanent addition to our annual calendar.

On Friday June 10, Deliotte gave Dreams For kids the opportunity to participate in their annual, national event, Deliotte Impact Day. DFK interns and Deliotte employees worked together to re-vamp the DC Therapeutic Recreational (TR) Park.
This park serves as a facility for local youth with disabilities to come learn and grow through summer camps, group and individual activities. Through a team effort and hard work, DFK and Deliotte were able to make over the beautiful park, with new vibrant flowers, a fresh paint job and various other touch ups to the great venue.
TR park and Deliotte share DFK's commitment to today's youth as well as value their impact on the community. It is great organizations like Deliotte that will lead to a brighter future where today's youth become tomorrow's leaders.
