Austin Robinson was a Kinetic Kid Champion for 10 years. He participated in many of our programs despite being tethered to medical support equipment. Two programs, in particular, gave him the most enjoyment: gymnastics and martial arts. Austin lost his medical battle in November 2022, and his family established the Austin Robinson Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of his strength, determination and resolve.

Chris Rabago played a key part in our early years helping lay the foundation for Kinetic Kids. Chris joined when Kinetic Kids was less than three years old and offered his services pro bono to help with much-needed IT support.  His knowledge, passion, and time helped create efficient registration systems, developed our website, and provide computer support for over 15 years. Chris eventually became part of our staff and, though he had other full-time work, he loved the Kinetic Kids mission. Chris was a close member of our team, always happy to help, lend an ear, and support our cause. When he passed, Chris left an impactful legacy at Kinetic Kids. His dedicated work paved the way to where we are today. In honor of Chris, Kinetic Kids has created the Chris Rabago Memorial Scholarship program.

In honor of Lori Velasquez, Harvey E. Najim donated $10,000 to establish the Lori Velasquez Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Lori joined the Kinetic Kids board of directors in 2005 and was a trusted advisor, loyal supporter, and parent of a life-long Kinetic Kid—Daniel. Lori directly impacted the success of Kinetic Kids by being a tireless advocate who shared Kinetic Kids mission with everyone she knew, welcoming new families to Kinetic Kids, providing thoughtful insights only a parent could provide at board meetings, speaking at conferences to inspire other parents and, ultimately, opening doors and avenues for children with disabilities.
