Regardless of what sport we play or enjoy watching, remember that not everyone is as fortunate as most other Athletes.
One area where you can watch athlete’s excel and achieve success without the perception of giving up is the Special Olympic Program.
These Athletes play as hard as any other and only want to be recognized in a world where there is far too many problems with anger issues.
You can help ! How? Get involved and as they say “give the gift of inspiration, acceptance, achievement, and joy through sport with our seasonal projects”.
