For more than 50 years, God’s Exceptional Children’s Boat Ride has brought music, dancing, lunch, balloons, and a memorable day on the water to individuals with special needs, their families, and caregivers across Staten Island. After losing their sponsor, the Richmond Masonic Association fundraised to make sure the event wasn’t cancelled and the Mecca Merry Makers volunteered to make sure these families are still greeted with balloons, smiles, and plenty of clowning around.

You are also invited to join the Balloonatics and help inflate and distribute balloons during God’s Exceptional Children’s Boat Ride. See you Saturday, September 26th!!!

Please check back for details as they develop.
