“I enjoy working with DAPO. The partnership with Special Olympics is tremendous,” Bradley said. “(What we) are planning to do is try to spread out the funds for Special Olympics so more athletes can join us.”

Jon Garcia, a parole agent III, said the softball game was more than an exhibition game.

“Oh, it was competitive because both sides wanted to win. So, it was just a great experience, and for a good program, a good cause,” he said.

Enos said fundraising for Special Olympics is one more way DAPO helps the community.

“Community involvement is key, and we really want to be involved with our community. We want to have partnerships with organizations to help (them) and be involved,” Enos explained.

Garcia said Special Olympics is a family effort.
