Organiser's description

There are a lot of new things for our event this year!

Our son, Owen Hill (pictured above) suffered a Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI) at birth which left his left arm paralyzed. He has since had two surgeries and lots of Occupational Therapy to help him use his left arm!

The proceeds from this event will benefit the Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI) Program, a division of the Orthopedics team at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
