EEK (Exceptionally Excited Kids)â„¢ is a nonprofit organization for all children and young adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities. EEK was established in 2005 by Sue Marabito and Erica Sandoval. We are both mothers of a child with a disability; my daughter Unity has Autism, and Sue's son Joey has Down Syndrome. Our program involves playing, socializing, exercise, family involvement, and more. We believe that individuals with challenges have the right to participate in the same sports and recreation activities as their non-disabled peers with NO discrimination. Everyone has the right to be included!
Exceptionally Excited Kids!
EEK is dedicated to bringing awareness of equality and inclusion for those who are challenged, and we are passionate about helping animals too... specifically turtles! Our logo is the turtle in reference to help persons with dis-ABILITIES to "Come Out of Their Shells."For more than 100 million years, leatherback turtles have graced our oceans. At an astonishing eight feet long and up to 2,000 pounds, they journey between continents and dive to incredible depths. But in the last 10 years, 95% of the leatherbacks in the Pacific Ocean have vanished, victims of human pressures.The Leatherback Trust, Tagging of Pacific Predators, Conservation International, Costa Rica's Ministry of Environment and Energy, and Yahoo! invite you to join in their mission to support these beautiful hard-shelled reptiles.
