SMILE Mass gifts to Newburyport

Last month, our Senior District Director, MaryAnn Nay attended the City of Newburyport’s ceremony to celebrate the generous gift of a new floating beach wheelchair from non-profit organization SMILE Mass.

The ceremony took place at the Harbormaster Attendant building at Plum Island Point beach.

SMILE Mass (Small Miracles in Life Exist) is a 501C3 non-profit organization that helps families raising children or adults with disabilities enjoy happy, healthy memories through education, vacation, and recreation experiences. 

Since its inception, SMILE Mass has donated more than 180 floating beach wheelchairs to public ponds and beaches throughout New England to make them more accessible to all.

Newburyport is one of five winners of the 2024 Floating Beach Wheelchair Award.
