We have been able to donate to the USA Children's and Women's Pediatric Emergency Department renovation, we sponsor a special needs marine science camp at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and we have partnered with the Mobile National Estuary Program to donate and place beach mats at the West End of Dauphin Island. We supported a service project for USACW to sew with the patients, and DYW yearly and donating pillowcases (Krewe Kases) to patients in the hospital. We have worked with local attractions such as Bellingrath Gardens to create a special needs egg hunt during their Easter festivities in the Spring. We look forward to many more opportunities in the coming years to spread a little kindness in our community!
