The 23rd Annual Inspiration Walk was held on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy the festivities and honor a number of our long-time volunteers. Athletes enjoyed playing games, getting their photos taken, and hanging out with the mascots, including the Oriole Bird, Beary White and many others. Congratulations to all the door prize winners who won Orioles and Ravens gear, Toby’s gift certificates, Outback gift card, SOHO gear, Wegman’s gift cards and the grand prize of two tickets to an upcoming Ravens game. Thanks to everyone who donated to support the athletes of Special Olympics Howard County!
