The Ride - for motorcycles

Since 2001, Dream Ride has been bringing people together on the open road to celebrate the achievements of Special Olympics Connecticut athletes. Each year thousands of motorcycle and car enthusiasts rev up their engines for a ride through scenic CT to The Farmington Club. There everyone enjoys an amazing day of fun, food, music, motors and inspiration.

After seven years and over $740,000 in fundraising,Bozzuto’s Inc. and Hometown Foundation, Inc. are back as sponsors of Dream Ride. The 2008 event is more than a charity ride for motorcycles and a show for cars, it’s a gathering of people interested in camaraderie, helping out a good cause and having a great time.

The Show - for automobiles

Celebrate the cars and trucks we love! We’re proud to announce the all-new Dream Show 2008, presented by Papa’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep in association with Dream Ride 2008. All types of vehicles are welcome, and award presentations will be made in various catergories.

The Dream

The mission of Dream Ride 2008 is to raise much-needed funds for the thousands of Special Olympics Connecticut athletes. As an organization, Special Olympics contributes to the lifelong development of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. For those individuals and their families, Special Olympics has become a symbol of hope. For every athlete involved in Special Olympics, the program provides a lifetime of active participation in sports. To volunteers and supporters, Special Olympics offers an experience that uplifts the spirit and touches the heart — no matter who you are or what you drive.

The Special Olympics Connecticut program is one of the most innovative and dynamic in the world, involving thousands of people throughout the state in exciting and rewarding competition, training and events. Your participation in Dream Ride and support of SOCT’s mission will allow extraordinary athletes the chance to make their dreams come true.

Thank you for making the difference in an athlete life!
