The 16th Annual Catalina Ski Race Special Needs Children's Foundation, Inc., along with this year's sponsors, W.L. Butler Construction, Inc., Long Beach Yacht Sales and the La Bahns, successfully provided 1100 special kids with a brief respite from their tumultuous everyday lives.

Special thanks go out to "Capt Bob" Grant, "Wild Bill" Maahs, "Offshore Race Lance" Hendrichson, "Scott Christman", "Jen Lemmon", George "BIg Fish" Patrick and "Boater Bob" Russell for donating the boat rides that literally plaster smiles all over these kid's faces!

Your kindness and generosity make this event possible!
