Join Us for Strong Minds at Unified Bocce in Lawrence!
Special Olympics Kansas is thrilled to host our first-ever Strong Minds Screening on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Lawrence High School (1901 Louisiana Street, Lawrence, KS 66044) during the Unified Bocce event.
This groundbreaking screening will focus on comprehensive well-being, addressing mental, physical, and emotional health.
