Special Olympics and Fees:

Special Olympics offers all programs to athletes at no charge but you may not realize that local programs have significant expenses. These expenses are paid for by donations and local program fundraising. Last year, we asked our bowlers to donate the cost of bowling each week: $9.00 a week. Many athletes and families did donate and this helped us pay for bowling with less fundraising. We are asking bowlers again to donate $9.00 a week to cover the costs. Thank you for your support!
