Special olympics texas

We show continued support to the organization by raising funds through a variety of efforts including fundraising, annual events such as our Spring Classic, and donations through sponsors, all while also volunteering at their local events.

Rookie Service Projects
Each semester, the current Rookie class plans and executes one to two service projects during their Rookie semester. These community-focused initiatives are widely appreciated by actives, fellow spirit and service organizations, and the Austin community members they serve. Rookie service projects play a vital role in developing leadership, strengthening camaraderie, and establishing the class’s presence in the community.
