“Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.” “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” —Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot .
We’re running a full weekend of Distance Splashes, Hydro Dash (HD), and Air Retrieve (AR).
We will do a memorial toss for our partners we will never forget prior to the first splash on Saturday.
