super fest - football & cheer
As seen on ESPN
Super Fest began in 2016 as an inclusive football and cheerleading clinic and gameday experience held the day before the Big Game. Super Fest's purpose is to showcase inclusion and provide an opportunity for youth with developmental disabilities to participate together with their peers, be genuinely welcomed and made to feel a part of the football weekend. The skills based clinic culminates in a gameday experience with the national anthem, football players running through a cheerleading tunnel, football scrimmages, and cheer performances. 

​Every year, we have been fortunate to have had amazing support from local NFL teams, media outlets, businesses, disability agencies, hospitals, and community partners. For example, President George H. W. Bush (U.S. president who signed the American Disabilities Act into law) was our Honorary Chairperson in Houston. Please see the ESPN clips below which aired on their Sunday NFL coverage before the Big Game. And for more information about past years, please visit: Southern California (2022), Central Florida (2021),  South Florida (2020), Atlanta & Minnesota (2019), Minnesota (2018), Houston (2017), and San Francisco (2016).
