The lifelong relationships we have formed with past athletes and their families make the experience even more special and we look forward to welcoming our friends back to Lakefront Arena and the University of New Orleans."

"Community service is one of the best parts of being a student-athlete," said Kmani Doughty. "We are excited to host an event with Special Olympics Louisiana."
