The Fayette County Special Olympics program would like to thank the Jeffersonville Masonic Lodge #468 and the Jefferson Order of Eastern Star #300 for hosting a Spaghetti Dinner on May 6th to raise money, which allowed the purchase of new uniforms and equipment. Jerseys, hats, bats and balls were much needed items and athletes are appreciative of this donation. A special thank you goes out to the more than 50 individuals and businesses who assisted in this effort.
The Fayette County Special Olympics provides sports free of charge to athletes starting from the age of 8. Athletes compete in basketball, softball, track and field, cheerleading, bowling, and flag football. All funds to purchase uniforms, equipment, pay travel expenses, and fees to compete are paid for by sponsors, donations, fundraisers, and a small grant from the local United Way. On behalf of the athletes, coaches and all of us who support this program, thank you!
