Gerry has partnered with FIS (Frankfort Independent Schools) to help get our local kids out on the water by introducing them to standup paddleboarding (SUP). This program is very near and dear to Gerry’s heart, and there are many costs that go into supporting this type of program. This includes buying the equipment (the standup paddleboards, trailer to transport them, life jackets), as well as paying support staff. Gerry is leading this initiative, and donating to help support this program would mean so much to us! Gerry and I have been so blessed to have everything and more that we need for our home, and are prioritizing donations for this program over gifts for the two of us. There is such a need for water safety and increased physical activity for the kids in our community, and we hope you will consider donating to help improve the success of this program.
