You Can Sponsor Dreams in Jeans on April 25th!
Many of the riders at Turning Point – faced with physical, cognitive, emotional or
economic challenges – do not qualify for the Special Olympics. But they still deserve
their moment in the arena.

It isn’t about winning. It’s about: Confidence, Competition, Independence!
It isn’t about a Party with a Purpose: Skip the party and support the purpose directly.
