The return of Par Hawai‘i’s annual Fueling Dreams campaign is helping Special Olympics Hawai’i athletes on their journey for gold.
The 13th Annual Fueling Dreams fundraiser, now in progress through May 22, 2018, provides Hawai’i drivers the opportunity to support Special Olympics Hawai’i by making a monetary donation at any one of 45 participating Hele and 76 stations throughout Hawai’i Island, Maui and O’ahu.
All donations received will support opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to train and compete free of charge.
