The Heroes Foundation is a proud sponsor of Special Olympics Texas.  Through our Heroes Cares program we offer several camps each year designed to be fun and inspiring for all involved.  Heroes partners with local athletes and celebrities, such as Jason Kidd and the Jason Kidd Foundation, to make the experience that much more engaging.  The camps are by far the most rewarding part of the Heroes experience, enabling the joy that comes from giving back to our community.
