Please consider joining us for the Special Olympics Indoor Winter Games, held March 1-2 in York, PA. Athletes from all over the state will join us for an exciting weekend of competition in bowling, floor hockey, floorball, speed skating and figuring skating. Competition will take place across 5 different locations in York, and volunteers are needed to make this event happen!
We hope that you will join us for one or both days as a volunteer! We need help with scorekeeping, timing, food distribution, awards and more. This is a great opportunity for community service hours!
