At Pass the OT, our mission extends far beyond helping OT and OTA students achieve their dreams through the most comprehensive and effective study preparation program available. This year, we felt called to make an even greater impact, one that supports young women who truly inspire us.
We are honored to announce that we are sponsoring one attendee and donating $1,650 to Beautifully Flawed (beautifullyflawed.org), a remarkable nonprofit organization that hosts life-changing retreats for young women and men with limb loss or limb difference. These retreats provide healing, belonging, hope, community, and even adventure to individuals navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly support the upcoming Alumni Beautifully Flawed Retreat in Kauai, taking place April 23–27, which will host 28 young women from the limb-loss community, including four who are quad amputees. Your generosity will help provide them with connection, encouragement, support, and transformative experiences that many describe as life-changing.

About Beautifully Flawed
The Beautifully Flawed Foundation began in 2007, inspired by Bethany Hamilton’s shark attack and the outpouring of support that followed. What started as simple care packages grew into a mission to support young people facing traumatic amputation.
Through their retreats, Beautifully Flawed for young women and Forge for young men, participants experience:
- Discovering they are not alone and forming lifelong friendships
- Turning pain and wounds into purpose and testimony
- Sharing their stories and building community
- Overcoming challenges and embracing courage
Impact to date:
- 14 Beautifully Flawed Retreats for Young Women
- 6 Forge Retreats for young men
- 175 attendees whose lives have been deeply transformed
Together, We Can Make a Difference
Your support, through donation or by simply spreading the word, helps strengthen a community that embodies resilience, courage, and hope. Thank you for joining Pass the OT in uplifting these incredible young women.
