The Hoka Hey encourages fundraising for chosen charities. The Special Olympics is close to my heart as my sister Debbie participated most of her life.

People with intellectual disabilities have been mocked, ignored, shunned, and worse throughout history. SOMO organizes sports training & competitions for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Sports & competition aren't the end goal; they are the vehicle to reach the finish line of inclusion & acceptance, & to increase self-worth & confidence of our athletes.

Your support helps us put on more than 300 trainings and competitions every year. It also helps us ensure free health exams & leadership/life skills courses for 16,900+ athletes.
