Few things in life are as rewarding as pride in personal achievement, including experiencing success in athletic competition. This year, Special Olympics Florida - Orange County is celebrating this idea at our Tenth Annual Charity Dinner, “A Night With Our Stars” at the Rosen Plaza Hotel.

This annual fundraising dinner allows us to support Special Olympics Florida's ongoing efforts to enrich the lives of those with intellectual disabilities through the vibrant spirit of sports training and competition, health and wellness programs, socialization and friendship. “A Night with Our Stars” is a chance to make the Special Olympics experience accessible to as many athletes as possible, fulfilling the promise that there is never a cost for athletes to participate.  Currently, 85% of funding Special Olympics Florida raises goes directly to supporting athletes.
