Join us as SMILE Mass celebrates one of our most impactful moments of the year—the announcement of the Floating Beach Chair Grant recipients. This special event highlights the communities across New England that are taking meaningful steps toward true accessibility, ensuring that individuals of all abilities can experience the joy and freedom of the beach.

Each year, SMILE Mass donates floating beach wheelchairs to public beaches, transforming shorelines into inclusive spaces where families can create memories without limitations. These chairs don’t just provide access—they open the door to independence, dignity, and connection. Through this grant program, we are proud to partner with towns and communities that are committed to making their beaches welcoming for everyone .

Be part of the celebration as we recognize this year’s awardees, share their stories, and continue building a more inclusive world—one beach at a time.
