Steve-O's vision for this foundation was to help Michiana's community with special needs participate in recreational activities, camp and sports.  Steve taught high school health and PE for 40 years while also coaching high school swimming. This is where he became passionate and inspired by his many amazing students and athletes with special needs.  When asked what he'd like to do with funds raised by the foundation, he didn't hesitate to say he wanted to help the kids who were such an inspiration to him!

Where do our funds raised go?
