Success at the 8th Annual Brooke E. Posey Swim-a-Thon!

A wonderful Saturday at the Southern Yacht Club swimming, playing, & supporting StairNOLA

Brooke E. Posey Foundation's Swim-a-Thon & Family FUNraiser wishes to thank all the sponsors, donors, volunteers, entertainment, and especially the Swim for Brooke team! Special thanks to the Southern Yacht Club for being the most gracious hosts ever! 

It was exciting to see the Greater New Orleans community come out to support StairNola and their efforts to bring reading to every child, despite their economic situation. Participants swam their hearts out, enjoyed tasty treats, and were entertained by the 610 Stompers and Amelia EarHawts! The party continued with music from Audio Jocks DJ, Gwen & the Old Man, and Whiskey Throttle. The children were so happy to have a visit from Michael the Wildlife Detective!

Want to take part in this fun summer fundraiser next year? Volunteers, Sponsors, and Donors are always welcome.
