Best. Moms. Night. EVER!

Thank you to all the wonderful women who took a risk and came out last night to have dinner with a group of strangers! But the thing is, we aren't *really* strangers. We all have something powerful in common which bonds us and allows us to feel seen, heard, and understood, even in a room full of "strangers" 💙

We can't wait to do it again!

😍 We love when comes around! Today, we are thrilled to be thanking MarketBeat.com for their support of our Adaptive Trike Campaign! Through their generosity, we were able to purchase our first THREE adaptive trikes, which puts us halfway to our goal of 6 trikes! Thank you for supporting our vision of full inclusion and a more accessible Sioux Falls 💙

🚲 You can learn more about our Adaptive Trike Campaign below 🚲

❤️ Funds from this campaign will be used to purchase adaptive tricycles that will allow children with physical disabilities to fully participate in our Special Olympics South Dakota Young Athletes sessions, for use in our monthly open gyms, and as part of a check-out system to build skills in a home setting. Being able to loan out these adaptive trikes for home use is a huge driving factor in acquiring them, as they are beyond the means for most families to acquire individually.

🧡 We are HALFWAY Our goal of purchasing 6 adaptive trikes (4 with lower supports and 2 with full supports). These trikes will expand the number of children who can safely and confidently participate in our activities. We plan to have this equipment purchased and available for use in time for the upcoming Special Olympics Young Athletes session beginning July 7, 2026.

💛 Your support will create immediate and lasting impact by removing barriers, increasing inclusion, and strengthening community connections for children and families.
