Dodge for a Cure
We would also like to thank all of our HootaThon participants this year. Together our dancers and donors helped us raise over $4,000, making TPPTA the second highest fundraising student organization at HootaThon. This is an outstanding accomplishment, to everyone who helped make this possible, T H A N K Y O U !
This year, HootaThon as a whole raised $280,600, surpassing their goal of 215,000 set for the 215. This was made possible by all the participants, so thank you again to all who raised and danced for the kids!

2016 Young

The next sessions will begin in February/March of 2016. Come work with our Young Athletes (ages 2 – 7) and teach them basic sports skills like kicking and throwing a ball and playing with others! While young athletes practice their sports skills they gain motor skills like balance, flexibility, strength and coordination. Classes will take place at several of the YMCA locations throughout Philadelphia. To learn more about upcoming Young Athlete sessions and to get your name on the information list, please contact Britt Kleine, Director of Special Olympics Philadelphia at[email protected] or leave a message at 215.671.5063.
