On Saturday, April 1, 2023, over 350 guests will gather at the beautiful, Pasea Hotel & Spa in Huntington
Beach to celebrate the 18th Annual The Heart of a Champion- Under the Sea. This Gala is an inspiring
celebration that honors individuals with intellectual disabilities who benefit from Special Olympics Southern
California, as well as the volunteers who support them. Proceeds benefit men, women and children with
intellectual disabilities that live, train, and compete within our Special Olympics Orange County community
sports program. With your help, we can continue to provide Special Olympics at no charge to athletes and their
families.
Please demonstrate your support of our inspiring athletes by donating an item or package to be utilized
with the live and/or silent auction. Not only will you be contributing to a truly incredible organization, your
company will also receive positive exposure to patrons loyal to Special Olympics Southern California.
The auction is a crucial component of the event with donations being used to provide programs offered within
Southern California. Local athletes will have the chance to develop physical fitness, sports skills, social skills
and Self-esteem. Special Olympics is offered to young athletes’ sports and play program, school programs and
community teams throughout the Orange County community.
