2023 Coach Hogan Thomas Swim Clinic

On January 7, a very special person to Texa, Coach Hogan Thomas, hosted a swim clinic and 100% of the proceeds went to fund the Learn to Swim & Lunch program we held @ Apple Village of Edmond.  We can't thank Coach Thomas and staff enough for this amazing contribution to TKFM and the ministry of reaching youth in our community. We also want to thank the parents and swimmers that supported this incredible event.

2023 Texa Boxes Project

 

Thanks to the generous help of volunteers, community partners, and friends of TKFM ~ we have successfully given out Texa Boxes for 9 months now.  We have heard the best feedback from the recipients of these boxes and they are making a difference just as we hoped they would.  These boxes provide families with children non-grocery items that are not easily available through other resources but are so vital for day to day living and sanitation.

2023 Learn to Swim & Lunch Project

Our 2023 Swim & Lunch Camp @ Apple Village in Edmond was a a great success! A special thank you to Coach Brian Kidd for going the extra mile and making sure our swimmers had a great time while learning important life skills.

  
We averaged 20-30 swimmers each swim day and served 135 lunches on day the summer lunch program through the school was not available.

Thanks to our fantastic supporters for making this possible for these amazing kids who will have terrific memories and hopefully they will have a passion for swimming throughout their lives.

It is truly hard to fathom all the lives that have been touched in this first season of Texa Kite Family Ministries.  It would not be possible without the grace of so many contributors and volunteers.  In life, Texa had a passion for giving and she touched so many lives just by being herself.  With the TKFM family ~ we will continue to make sure to be her trail angels and reach those that need a little extra love and support.
