Help Our Special Olympics Equestrian Athletes Ride Toward Success! 🏅🏇

Our equestrian program serves 10–12 athletes from Alamance and Guilford Counties, providing opportunities to build confidence, independence, and lifelong skills through horseback riding.

The cost for a 13-session training season is $1,750 per athlete, plus competition expenses. We are working to raise funds so that every athlete has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their financial situation.

Every donation helps cover training, horse and facility fees, equipment, and competition costs.

Join us in supporting these incredible athletes and helping them achieve their goals—one ride at a time!

🏌️ Golf Coaches Needed! 🏌️

Special Olympics Alamance County is looking for 2–3 volunteer golf coaches to help bring the sport of golf to our athletes!

We are hoping to start a weekly practice at a local golf course where athletes can learn and develop skills such as:
- Putting
- Chipping
- Driving
- Course etiquette and basic golf fundamentals

If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please contact Mackenzie Barrier at [email protected] or 336-570-6760

Help us create new opportunities for athletes to learn, grow, and have fun through the game of golf!
