I’m glad these events were such a success, and I’m proud of the way Jeff Lazarou, Chris Sherlock, Liz Tesiero and everyone involved have stepped up and help restore the modified sports to Amsterdam. Over $60,000 raised. This shows what can happen when a community works together.
I think it is fantastic that so many people came together to make the event such a success! Modified sports in Amsterdam, or anywhere are very important to the children & community & brings people of all ages together.
