In its third year, Winter Games’ purpose is to promote positive awareness for people with disabilities.

With participants coming from South Fort Myers High School, Riverdale High School, Lehigh Senior High School, Foundation for the Developmentally Disabled and various elementary schools from Collier county, participants will be paired with a volunteer at FGCU to take part in various stations.
