Special Olympics
Are you passionate about GLACURH? Are you passionate about helping the world around you? Did you know each year GLACURH raises money for the Special Olympics? Every great nonprofit relies on support from people like you to ensure continued mission success. The Special Olympics is no different. Did you know that Special Olympics provides athletic based programming to over 15,000 individuals with either physical or cognitive disabilities? Did you know they rely on funding solely through donations from every day people like you and me to provide those programming opportunities? At GLACURH 2014 we have several amazing opportunities to give to Special Olympics.
If you or your school raised money to be donated to Special Olympics on behalf of GLACURH, you will receive a special invitation to a polar plunge challenge on Saturday. This Polar Plunge will be open two the NCC and a delegate of their choosing. More Details of this will be given during check in. In order to receive this special invitation, you must bring a check OR provide proof of donation (if you elect to donate directly to your states Special Olympics contingency) upon conference registration.
This year’s philanthropy event will appeal directly to the warm cockles of your heart. During the stop and serve Saturday delegates will be asked to make inspirational letters. These heartfelt letters will be hand delivered to the athletes as they check in for the summer games. By coming together, we will help inspire athletes be brave in the attempt to achieve their greatest dreams.
