When we start to tell people about the Festival, we begin to realize how hard it is to put feelings into words. There is no real way to accurately describe the Festival other than to say, “You just have to be there.” When we started planning the PIP Festival, our goals were high. We hoped kids could learn to compete and feel successful because they had the courage to try and had done their best, even when they didn’t “win” by outside standards. We wanted an opportunity for PIPs from everywhere to get to meet each other and learn that competition, respect and even friendship can be a packaged deal. We reached far with these goals and because of great PIP kids, super coordinators, and positive parents, the reality has been even better than the dream. We hope to see you at the Festival!!!
