Thank You, Colorado Springs!
On September 26, our community came together for an evening of cocktails, dinner and auctions benefiting the Hope Floats Scholarship. Together, we raised $100,139 to help local kids learn to swim, no matter what their family can afford.

The party's over. The mission isn't.

How Your Gift Helps
The Hope Floats Scholarship covers part or all of the cost of swim lessons for local families facing financial barriers. Scholarship swimmers get the same one-on-one instruction as every Little Fins student, in our heated indoor pools at Garden of the Gods and Union Boulevard, all year long.
Hope Floats Foundation independently reviews and approves every application. Little Fins coordinates lessons for approved families.
