The SD Group is a proud supporter of the Special Olympics Unified Sports, North Hills Bocce team!

For the past 50 years, Special Olympics Pennsylvania has filled a critical need in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for physical activity and social interaction. Athletes learn developmental and life skills as the benefits of participation translate beyond sports, helping participants to live more independent and rewarding lives. Special Olympics also provides a positive venue for families, volunteers, and donors to become part of a caring community.
