🌟 Let’s give it up for one of SEASPAR’s most compassionate, talented, and dedicated participants—Kari Winter! 🌟

From rocking the stage with Curtain Callers 🎭 to lifting her voice in Glee Club 🎤, Kari brings energy and heart to everything she does. 💙✨ She’s also a 15-year member of Aktion Club, where she’s held leadership roles and helped others learn about community service and inclusion. 🙌🤝

And when she’s not supporting her peers or performing, she’s giving back—volunteering with animals at the West Suburban Humane Society. 🐾💞 Her kindness knows no limits and is well deserving of our spotlight! 🌟👏

🍋✨ On September 12, SEASPAR was honored to be the beneficiary of the Women of Oak Brook’s fall fundraiser—an elegant evening at Labriola Ristorante filled with Italian flavors, coastal chic vibes, and generous giving. 🇮🇹🌊

From the lemon-themed décor to the warm breeze, every detail was perfect. 🍽️🌿 Through event proceeds and direct giving, the evening raised nearly $2,000 in cash donations, plus dozens of in-kind items from our wishlist. 🎁💛

A heartfelt thank you to the Women of Oak Brook and every guest who showed up, gave generously, and made a difference for our participants! 💙🌟

🌲✨ SEASPAR at Timber Pointe Outdoor Center: A Week of Growth, Grit, and Fun! ✨🌲

From the moment we made our first pit stop at Wally’s, we knew it was going to be an unforgettable week at camp. Our participants settled into their cabins (yes, the same ones as last year!), dove into human foosball, cheered each other on during archery and paddleboarding, and danced with ribbons after conquering the giant swing! 🎯🎵

There were so many highlights:
🌊 Cooling off with pool games and kayak adventures
💃 Serving lewks at the Trash-ion Show
🐐 Saying “no thanks” to goat walks (and loving it)
🎤 Singing our hearts out during karaoke
🌟 Enjoying a magical tea party with fairy lights
🔥 Ending the week with s’mores and SEASPAR’s private pool bash!

One of the most meaningful moments? Our campers teaming up with Timber Pointe staff for a truly unforgettable round of “Stump” — a hilarious hose-down, ice-bucket challenge that brought the entire camp together in laughter and joy.

We came home with sun-kissed cheeks, stronger friendships, new memories, and a renewed sense of adventure.

💙 This is what SEASPAR is all about: being ourselves, pushing our limits, and having the time of our lives—together.

🏈💙 SEASPAR Flag Football Shines at Regionals! 💙🏈

Last Sunday, both our Blue and White teams competed at NIU for the Special Olympics Regional Tournament—and what a day it was! 🙌

👏 Our Blue Team fought hard and earned 3rd place!
🥈 Our White Team brought home 2nd place—and punched their ticket to the SO State Tournament in just a few weeks! 🎉

We couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship shown by both teams. Way to go, SEASPAR athletes! 🌟

📸 Here’s our White Team celebrating with their silver medals! 🥈💪

🏌️‍♂️ STATE GOLF SPOTLIGHT! 🏌️‍♀️

Over the weekend, three of our incredible SEASPAR athletes hit the greens in Decatur, IL for the Special Olympics State Golf Tournament—and they brought home both medals and memories!

🎖️ Jeff Osowski took home the GOLD
🥉 Sam Smetko earned a BRONZE
🥉 Molly Sosnowski also brought home BRONZE

But the highlights went beyond the leaderboard! Molly sank a 50-foot putt like a champ, and witnessed one of the best golf shots ever — a fellow player chipped the ball right into the hole from 60 yards out 😮⛳

And in classic SEASPAR fashion, there was plenty of laughter too — including some light teasing about a certain staff member’s bedtime bonnet (no names mentioned… but the photo evidence exists 😆).

Huge congrats to our athletes and coaches for a weekend full of talent, teamwork, and tournament magic. We’re so proud of you!
