Making waves and making history 🏊‍♂️💚

Our Spartans Swim Team competed at the Special Olympics Regional Swim Meet and brought home an incredible medal count:
🥇 1 Gold
🥈 6 Silver
🥉 3 Bronze

And that’s not all — the team achieved 9 personal bests 💥

A special shoutout to William P, who will be representing SEASPAR at the State Summer Games in the 100M Backstroke and 50M Freestyle 🌊

This year’s competition was intense, but our Spartans showed resilience, determination, and heart every step of the way. With medals earned and goals set, they’re already ready to get back in the water and come back even stronger next season 💪✨

We are so proud of this team! 💚

Growing something special… together 🌱💚

Our EAGLES are getting ready to begin an ongoing volunteer opportunity at the Children’s Garden at The Morton Arboretum

As part of this exciting new journey, staff recently participated in a training alongside other Children’s Garden volunteers — preparing to support, connect, and make a meaningful impact in this beautiful space.

We can’t wait to see our participants grow, give back, and be part of something truly special 🌿✨

⚽💪Growth looks different… and this team is showing up for it 💚

Our SEASPAR Steel Power Soccer team competed in Indiana against top national conference teams, facing a high level of competition. While the results didn’t land in the win column, the impact was undeniable.

Opponents, coaches, and officials recognized their effort, determination, and potential — and that says everything.

This team is building something strong, and the journey is just getting started ⚡

This is what 50 years looks like. 💚

A child who finally feels like they belong.
A family that shows up… and is welcomed.
A community that proves inclusion isn't just a word — it's a way of life.

This summer, SEASPAR is celebrating 50 years of making that happen — and we need partners who want to stand in that circle with us.

Two events. Hundreds of families. Zero barriers.

🌳 Summer Kick-Off | June 7 | Ty Warner Park, Westmont
🎬 Movie in the Park | July | Blackhawk Park, Indian Head Park

These experiences are free — because they should be. But they only happen because people like YOU choose to show up.

Your logo on a banner is nice.
Your impact on a life? That's the real return.

Our Spartans Blue team brought home second place at the Special Olympics Illinois State Basketball Tournament 🏀🥈

After a strong 42–11 opening win, the team advanced to the championship game, finishing 26–39 against SRACLC.

Beyond the competition, the weekend was filled with team bonding — from shared meals to laser tag, music, and dancing — building friendships that go far beyond the game 💫

🎭✨ Some people perform… and some people light up the entire stage. 🌟
Jackson Mangan does both. 🎤

From the Musical Theater program 🎶 to the Holiday Spectacular 🎄, Jackson brings energy ⚡, creativity 🎨, and confidence 💫 to every performance. His love for singing 🎵, his quick improv 🎬, and his ability to make others feel comfortable and included 🤝 make him a true leader in our programs.

🏆 Named the 2026 Cultural Artist of the Year, Jackson reminds us of what the arts are all about—joy 😊, expression 🎭, and lifting each other up. 💙

👏 We’re so proud of you, Jackson! 🌟

Save the Date! 🌟🤩🗓🎭
Practically perfect in every way — and we mean it. ✨

This April 25, the stage at Lincoln Center in Downers Grove comes alive with the timeless magic of Mary Poppins, brought to you by the talented performers of SEASPAR's Teen and Adult Programs Actors Guild.

Weeks of rehearsals, laughter, and hard work have all been building to this moment. Every scene, every song, and yes — every "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" — has been poured into with heart and dedication.

🗓 April 25
🚪 Doors open: 1:30 PM
🎭 Show starts: 2:00 PM
📍 Lincoln Center, Downers Grove

Whether it's your first SEASPAR show or your fifth, this is more than a performance — it's pure magic. Come be part of it.

Rain, cold, and wind… nothing could stop this team 💚🍀

Our SEASPAR participants and supporters showed up with determination and heart for our very first 5K Leprechaun Walk/Race. Through every step, they kept the rhythm going—crossing the finish line with pride, earning their medals, and celebrating together with a well-deserved lunch. 🏃‍♂️🍀🥇

We are so proud of everyone who came out and gave it their all—your spirit truly outshined the weather and made the day shine brighter. 💚✨🍀

A heartfelt thank you to The Morton Arboretum for welcoming SEASPAR families to a sensory-friendly Juniper Junction experience. 🌿💚

Offered on two separate days for youth and for teens and young adults, this special opportunity gave participants and their families space to explore in a calm, welcoming environment.

Juniper Junction brought trains to life in a big way, with large-scale models designed for hands-on interaction. Participants pressed oversized buttons to activate movement, lights, and sounds—returning again and again to explore each detail at their own pace. 🚂🔆🎶

With dedicated time just for SEASPAR families, there was freedom to engage, discover, and enjoy without feeling rushed. The experience was made even more meaningful thanks to the LGB Model Railroad Club of Chicago, whose members shared their knowledge, answered questions, and even invited participants to help run the trains. 🤝💡

Moments like these—thoughtful, inclusive, and filled with wonder—help create the kind of harmony and connection that SEASPAR is proud to celebrate. 🎵💫
