At CSM in San Diego, we held an innovative way of transforming society. This inaugural event “PArTy with a Purpose” was generously hosted by the APTA Geriatrics, APTA Academy of Leadership and Innovation and the ATI Foundation. We had taken over The New Museum (a premier children’s museum) directly across the street from CSM. 

This event raised $30,000 which helped support three deserving organizations

1. One More Wave - Empowering veterans to find healing through surfing. Providing wounded and disabled veterans with customized surfing equipment and a community to surf with.
2. APTA Geriatrics Fund - The APTA Geriatrics Fund supports scholarships for future geriatric researchers and aging-specific research grants to help improve PT for older adults through the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research.
3. ATI Foundation - The ATI Foundation was created as a way for API employees and patients to give back to the communities in which they live, work and serve. From 2003 to 2020, the ATI Foundation raised more than $4 million to make a meaningful impact in the lives of nearly 4,500 children with physical impairments.
