“The Rafail Insurance Agency is honored to found the first-ever Soaring Kidz Charity Basketball Tournament,” stated Mark Rafail, President of The Rafail Insurance Agency. “We hope to raise awareness so children with special needs can have a gym that they can call their own.

Started by founder Mina Iskander, Soaring Kidz is a grassroots organization with the mission of helping special needs children have the joy and freedom to play sports. While Soaring Kidz currently rents gyms to host their events and keep costs low for parents, the organization plans to eventually purchase their own facility and expand its staff. All donations and sponsorships are pivotal in carrying out the Soaring Kidz mission, with partnerships being greatly valued. Current programs include basketball, soccer, gymnastics, t-ball, taekwondo, art for all, and golf.
