Sponsors Sought for Special Olympics Reception at Kings Creek Inn

Help our Eastern Shore Athletes SOAR at the Special Olympics Virginia Awareness Reception on Sunday, October 19, from 1-5 p.m. at Kings Creek Inn. A live auction and silent auction featuring pieces from local artists, vouchers for hotel and B&B stays, and much more will be held to benefit the Special Olympics Virginia Athletes of the Eastern Shore. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. All tickets include an engraved wine glass, one glass of wine, hors d’oeuvres, a chance to win a door prize, and the knowledge that you have helped change a brave athlete’s life!

Individuals with intellectual disabilities often do not have the same opportunities as we do to reach their full potential. In addition to acting as advocates; coaches, volunteers, and council members encourage and empower athletes. On the Eastern Shore we have close to 100 athletes with intellectual disabilities who participate in three different sports: bocce, bowling, track and field, and this year basketball.

Special Olympics provides these individuals with the opportunity to become more involved in their community and demonstrate courage by doing something many have never had the chance to do otherwise: participate in sports! Every penny raised supports these programs by providing athletes with uniforms, equipment, and funds to go on trips weekend trips to championship games. All that we do with Special Olympics allows these athletes to live happier and healthier lives.

To raise funds and make this a successful event we are calling for sponsorship from our Eastern Shore Businesses and Organizations.
