THE CHITTENDEN PROGRAM NEEDS YOUR HELP

The Special Olympics Vermont Chittenden Program trains more than 150 athletes and partners for competitions in 12 different sports throughout the year.  As you know, the program is run by volunteers and supported entirely by fundraising and donations.

Athletes are not charged to participate, however the programs are not free to operate. The Chittenden program has significant expenses such as Games registration, bowling, gym, pool, court and fields for practices, uniforms, meals, and equipment.  Renting lanes for Team Bowling in the fall will cost close to $5000; total expenses for the Chittenden program are around $30,000 each year.

Right now we need your support!  Without additional volunteers and funding the Chittenden program will be unable to continue offering all the programs we want to.

Please consider:

ü  Attending a meeting on Wed, 9/24 about program management and fundraising

6:30pm at the SOVT office: 16 Gregory Drive, Suite 2, South Burlington, VT 05403

ü  Recruiting new volunteers to help (invite someone to the meeting with you)

ü  Making an immediate donation of $25-$50 (or any gift amount)

Bring your check book or credit card to the meeting OR mail a check to Special Olympics Vermont (make payable to SOVT and write Chittenden in the memo line),

16 Gregory Drive, Suite 2, South Burlington, VT 05403

Special Olympics athletes amaze and inspire us every day with their determination and commitment.  Please help us continue providing opportunities for everyone with different abilities to show the world that they are valuable members of our community.   

If you have questions, please contact any of the following people.
