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 their plunging team Marty and Reese’s Warriors in 2017 to support programming for their two children, and the team has grown to more than 100 members. We are excited to honor the hard work and positive energy they bring to our mission.
