We Rise Foundation
Provides inclusive swimming programs that create opportunity in sport, foster independence, and develop lifelong skills.
The mission of the We Rise Foundation is to provide inclusive swimming programs that create opportunity in sport, foster independence, and develop lifelong skills for underserved children and athletes.
We Rise Foundation founders, Junior and Kendall Temotio, are local entrepreneurs, parents, experts in swimming development, and passionate advocates for adaptive sports. As former athletes and engaging swim coaches and leaders, they have always had a desire to make an impact on youth athletes and develop lifelong swimmers.
Through the We Rise Foundation, their hope is to not only develop programs that meet the needs of todays young athletes with differences, but also to positively influence the heart and mind of their teammates, and inspire other athletic programs to create inclusive programs.
