9-Pin Bowling Tournament
The first 9-Pin Bowling Tournament – a new partnership between Special Olympics Wisconsin Area 5 and Prevea Sports Medicine – was a tremendous success! In honor of National Physcial Therapy month, Prevea employees, family members and even some of our very own Special Olympics athletes participated in this inaugural year….and raised over $2,500 in the process! A huge thank you to Pro-Bowl and Prevea Sports Medicine – THANKS FOR BEING A FAN!
