We are seeking to raise $30,000 ($1,000 per athlete)  to help cover an entire year of Special Olympics programming, including:

• Athlete registration fees
• Uniforms and team equipment
• Transportation to practices and competitions
• Coaching and volunteer support
• Tournament and event participation costs

• Health, wellness, and fitness programming for athletes

Your support will ensure our athletes have the opportunity to build confidence, develop friendships, strengthen teamwork skills, and experience the joy of competition and inclusion.

At Helping Hand, we believe every individual deserves the chance to shine — on and off the field. With your partnership, our athletes can continue to grow, compete, and represent our community with pride.

Together, we can help every athlete reach their full potential.
