This event was possible because of the incredible support of the fans, volunteers, staff, parents, spectators, and everyone who participated in this great day. Jon, Springbrook’s adaptive physical education teacher and the Special Olympics co-athletic coordinator, and Rachael, a recreational therapist and Special Olympics co-athletic coordinator, managed and guided the invitational and the athletes, which made a big impact. Your dedication ensures that Springbrook’s Special Olympics Program continues providing opportunities for athletes to shine on and off the court. Thank you for making this milestone year a resounding success!
