Challenger Athletics Held Its Annual Surf Camp
Firm Helps Sponsor Event Benefiting Special-Needs Children and Young Adults

Jon A. Ward, a Member and Partner with the Firm, is a Board Member with Challenger Athletics, which held its Annual Surf Camp on September 16 at Gilgo Beach in Babylon.

More than 90 athletes spent an hour with an instructor and a buddy to learn how to “catch a wave” and develop self-confidence in the process. Lifeguards from Fire Island and Jones Beach also volunteered their time to ensure a safe experience for all participants.

Challenger Athletics is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the growth of special-needs children through sports. The organization was co-founded by Raymond Samson, whose youngest son, Patrick, has Down syndrome.

“The Surf Camp gave these children and young adults, many of whom have never been on a surfboard before, the opportunity to learn a new and exciting sport,” Mr. Ward said. “It was amazing to watch these athletes brave the surf and waves with their instructors to learn how to surf. There is no doubt that this experience helped them build tremendous self-confidence by showing them that they can accomplish great things if they put their minds to it.”
