FIND YOUR SHADOW is a program that was created to help children with EPP live their dreams...with a little help from us! We're happy to announce our family recipients for 2021's FIND YOUR SHADOW project and this year we are going to help more families, more wishes and bigger and better than ever! Between fulfilling long dreamed of personal trips to retrofitting homes and even going international for the first time, Shadow Jumpers and the APF can't wait to finish off the year taking down the sun with all of our new families!
