FOW honors Will Schupler and the exammple he provides to his "friends" (FOW) and family of what is truly meaningful and important in life.

All proceeds raised go to Will's amazing special needs school and residence, The Center for Discovery (.org). It's a world-renouwn facility that provides best-in-class education, recreational and medical support for those with complex challenges, like Will. Specifically, this year, money raised will help purchase much needed sun shades for The Center's state of art newly built plaground. It's an incredible respite for Will and his fellow resident / students but gets incredibly hot during the summer months. Sun shades will make the playground much more enjoyable and useful.

God bless you and your family and thank you for your consideration and potential support.
