Who We Are and Who We Support:
THIS CAR SHOW IS HELD TO SUPPORT "Special Day for Special Kids". ALL PROCEEDS (yes every single penny) from the car show are donated to fund Special Day for Special Kids.
Special Day For Special Kids is an annual event held the last Saturday in June at Keystone State Park near New Alexandra PA.
Special Day began in 1991 by the Pennsylvania Sportsman for the Disabled. This day provides the opportunity for special need children both mentally and physically challenged and their families to enjoy a fun filled day with outdoor recreation organized and adapted just for them. Participants and their families are provided with goody bags, hats and t shirts. They are invited to join a fishing derby with prizes awarded. Within this day, there is also face painting, clowns, live entertainment, games, park rangers for information and learning, snow cones, popcorn, balloon artists, craft tables, small petting zoo and much more all free of charge for participants and their families. This family oriented event is for children 21 and under and their families.
PA Sportsman for the disabled, Inc. started Special Day with a three-fold purpose. First and foremost it is a day for special need children and their families to enjoy. A day away from everyday challenges they face and to be able to socialize with other children and families. Second, it is a means to educate the general public on the need for accessible outdoor recreation. Third is to show the families of special need children what our state park system has available to them on a year round basis and hopefully they take advantage of what our state parks have to offer.
The number of the participants grow each year. Last year approximately 300 people attended Special Day which is why we continue and strive to raise funds for this Special Event.
The dedicated volunteers who organize and run Special Day for Special Kids also organize and run the Special Day Car Cruise For Special Kids. For us, this a personal journey that needs to be continued year after year.
PA Sportsman For The Disabled, Inc. is a Pennsylvania non-profit organization.
