Description
Ann's Angels AWF is a 501c3 Public Nonprofit all volunteer team that provide waterskiing and wake boarding events to promote a healthy active life style for those who are challenged with physical and mental disabilities. Everyone you see in our pictures and videos is a volunteer. We pride our selves on the fact that we are a diverse group of volunteers from many water ski and non water ski backgrounds and from all over the country.
When interviewed Ann would refer to her volunteers as the reason her program was so successful. They were the backbone of why she was able to help so many lean to ski and continue waterskiing throughout life. She called them her "Angels" so we carry in her Name as "Ann's Angels".
"Our Mission"
To Promote Public Awareness and Provide Recreational Sports Services for Children and Adults living With Disabilities Through the Sports of Water Skiing and Wakeboarding.
"Purpose"
Ann's Angels is a nonprofit foundation based in Winter Haven, Florida that provides adaptive waterski events and opportunities for children and adults living with disabilities including our military veterans and current service personnel. We find that our programs provide a therapeutic recreation that reduces anxiety and depression while improving well-being and quality of life.
We provide all the waterski equipment, safety and personnel to hold safe organized water ski events for organizations, municipalities and individuals that want to provide this recreational sport to their community free of charge to the adaptive participants and their Families. Ann's Angels AWF Inc is a Public Nonprofit and Donations are always tax deductible.
Ann's Angels exists because of Ann O'Brine Satterfield. Directly or indirectly she created Ann's Angels by our participation with UCanSki2 of witch we volunteered at for years before we lost here to cancer on Christmas Eve 2015. Our Passion comes from within but our focus came from her. She allowed us to see into her world at each event and with each participant she captured our hearts and may have healed something within us as well. Ann's Angels are made up of the Volunteers that she allowed to work with her at UCanSki2. She made us better people, Skiers and volunteers. Her passion to make sure that no one living with a disability would be left behind on the playground was infectious and after we lost her it became apparent we could not let the world be without that passion. Therefor Ann created Ann's Angels in here own name. We now continue her work in her name using her method and her passion.
