The Special Olympics Arkansas held their Bowl-a-thon in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas this past October. Our Hot Springs branch participated and sponsored five of the bowlers. Mike Mathes of the Hot Springs BOE team said “It’s a pleasure sponsoring such an outstanding organization. Watching them laugh and have a great time really touches my heart”.
The mission of Special Olympics Arkansas is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.
