Special Olympics Basketball Practice & Ice Cream Social

The YP Network will be holding a social event for the local Special Olympics athletes. We will first provide a basketball skills competition with stations around the gym. Then we will end the evening enjoying root beer floats and ice cream sundaes with the athletes. This will also serve as a send off for the players as they will be attending the state basketball tournament in Minot that weekend.

The Network is currently partnered with Special Olympics North Dakota-Bismarck for the year. The partnership, which comes about as part of the YPN strategic plan, will allow the local Special Olympics chapter the opportunity to connect with young professionals from around Bismarck-Mandan while providing YPN members with service opportunities throughout the year. The YPN will direct all fundraising and most volunteer efforts for the next year toward the organization.
