Special Olympics, founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, is now the world’s
largest program of sports training and athletic competition. Here in our desert
over 150 Special Olympic athletes have a chance to train and compete in eight
sports, giving them both confidence and self-esteem to succeed both on and off
the playing field. All of the staff and coaches in the Desert Special Olympics
are volunteers and all funds raised go directly to athletic training and
competition. For these reasons, local fundraising is critical to our
organization.
On April 24, 2006 Desert Special Olympics will be hosting a
dinner/auction and we
need your support. These are a few of the ways you can help:
