The annual Night of Heroes, sponsored by DOW, celebrates the significant contributions of people and organizations both from the past year and over a longer period of time.

Held each fall, the evening's awards program and reception is an opportunity for the Special Olympics family to come together and celebrate the organization's successes and recognize those who made it possible.
