Today, more than 30 of our clients are eager to participate and grow as athletes in basketball, track & field, bowling, bocce, and our newest addition: bags!

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
Facility rentals and training space
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.
