Fort Myers Adaptive Sports & Rec Day at FGCU

To Promote Public Awareness and Provide Recreational Sports Services for Children and Adults living With Disabilities Through the Sports of Water Skiing and Wakeboarding.

Ann's Angels Adaptive Waterski Foundation  provides 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 Adaptive Waterski Foundation was created in 2016 to continue the services and clinics that were running through our original program called UCanSki2 that our Director Ann O'Brine Satterfield created it in 1994 and it ran till 2015 when she passed away of cancer on Christmas Eve of that year. A core group of Volunteers meet to form a new program in her memory using her teachings to continue her program and legacy. She asked us to change the name of the program after she passed and we named it after her "Ann's" for her and she called here volunteers "My Angels"  the best part of my program are my volunteers and this is what makes this program the best program in the world. Ann's Angels Adaptive Waterski Foundation was created.

Our Passion comes from within but our focus came from Ann. 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 is 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.
