“Thank you for all that you and your friends do to support Special Olympics PA! It is much appreciated!” -Matt B. Aaron, President & CEO (hand written note at the bottom of last year’s donation thank you letter)
We are holding the March Madness Tournament Pool fundraiser for the PA Special Olympics again this year! Like last year, whether you know all the players’ stats or don’t even recognize some of the teams’ names- it’s easy to join in on the fun. All proceeds will be donated to the PA Special Olympics from “Your Friends” (with a list of all participant names). Last year, we raised $290 dollars to support the PA Special Olympics and in the process- Stacy & Duke Soltesz (Detroit, MI) won a $50 VISA gift card! This year, it could be you!!
