The Panatera and McGowan Families
Marty and Reese's Warriors

Deanna and Joe Panatera and their friends Amy and Patrick McGowan have been supporting Special Children’s Charities for eight years, raising more than $275,000 for our programs.

The families started Marty and Reese’s Warriors in 2017 to support programming for their two children. Annually, the two families have over 100 folks joining in their fundraising efforts. We are excited to honor the hard work and positive energy they bring to our mission.
