COMMUNITY FLOAT FUND
At oGoFloat, we believe that floating truly could change the world. It's our desire to live in a community full of happy, healthy, relaxed humans, and with that focus, we're so proud to introduce the Community Float Fund. This program provides pre-paid floats to those who apply.
Who Can Benefit?
If you’re feeling the need for a break but find that the cost of a float session is beyond your reach right now, we warmly invite you to apply for a session through the Community Float Fund. This judgement free program is here to help you access the self-care and nervous system support you deserve.

How the Fund is Supported
The Community Float Fund is entirely sustained by generosity:
-
Our Contribution: oGoFloat donates at least one float session every month in loving memory of Stephen Brettl (read on to learn more).
-
Community Support: This fund is primarily supplied for by guests and Float Club Members who believe in floating so much, that they've purchased a float for you! Members who relocate or are unable to use their float credits often choose to donate them to the fund.

Inspiration
This initiative is inspired by and lovingly dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and float member, Stephen Brettl. Before his passing, Stephen worked with us to design this program, sharing his vision of prioritizing children, their caregivers, and anyone in need of rest and relaxation. It is in his honor that we continue this mission.
Stephen was a lifelong resident of Penticton who built countless friendships throughout his life. Known for his vibrant storytelling, Stephen was graced with the gift of the gab, and we happily set aside extra time to chat when he came to float. He was an Ironman, a devoted community supporter, and a longtime volunteer with the food hamper program at Penticton Catholic Church.
We miss Stephen deeply and are honored to carry forward this fund as a testament to his spirit of generosity and community. Thank you for helping us keep his legacy alive.
policies
You may fill out the form for yourself or on behalf of your child. Anyone can apply to receive a Community Fund Float.
Please note that our standard late cancellation and no-show policy still applies to Community Fund Floats. A failure to show or a late cancellation within 24 hours may result in a warning, a $25 fee, the requirement to prepay next time, or the forfeiture of a float credit. While we'll ask for a credit card to reserve the appointment, no payment will be due as long as you show up.
