For A Moment.
Think of a playing field where dreams of greatness begin with a single catch of a ball. Journey across a thin, wooden beam and discover the self-esteem achieved through balanced and graceful movement. Look beyond a scoreboard's display to understand the true meaning of sport, where points are tallied for fair play, teamwork and the sheer effort of the attempt.

For 30 Years.
Special Olympics New York has provided shining moments to people with mental retardation.
