March Madness! Sponsored by Special Olympics

Joins us for a special olympics basketball tournament for high school students with disabilities in Humboldt County.

This event will give kids with disabilities a chance to compete and have fun. It will be a bracketed tournament with an intermission or 'madness' time where kids will be able to show off their skills to win prizes. We are trying to get as many spectators as possible to cheer them on.
