OPWSA Wines Among the Vines Fundraising Event
On August 11th, 2019, families and friends came together for OPWSA's Family Fun Day with the Jays. It was a close game, but unfortunately the Jays lost 1-0 to the Yankees. While we couldn't pull out the win, we had beautiful weather, good seats, and we were surrounded by great people!

PWS Awareness Month
Throughout May, OPWSA ran our PWS Awareness campaign on our Facebook Page and Instagram where each day we are sharing a fact about PWS, as well as a PWS Everyday Challenge. The challenges encouraged individuals with PWS and their families to get involved in a variety of activities such as walking 2km, completing puzzles, other physical and mindfulness activities, arts and crafts, and sharing recipes (for parents and caregivers). Thank you to those that participated along with us and shared your journey with us.
