Please support our local program with your donation

Hi all, I hope you are enjoying the Holidays! This is not a typical program update email. I am writing to ask for your financial support for our local Chittenden Program. As you know, Special Olympics does not charge athletes to participate in our program. That does not mean everything is free. Even though our local program is entirely run by volunteers, we have to pay for our facilities, equipment, uniforms and competition fees. Chittenden pays for all of this through fundraising events (such as our Flower Sale and our Calcutta) and donations. The more donations we receive, the less fundraising we have to do, it's that simple. So, I am asking for your financial support.  Below is a list of the sports we offer and the cost per athlete for each sport. Please consider donating to our program!



Sport Athlete (1) Sponsorship*
Floorball $30.00
Golf $60.00
Soccer $60.00
Bocce $60.00
Softball $70.00

Basketball $80.00
Bowling $100.00
Cross Country Ski & Snowshoeing $130.00
Swimming $130.00

Checks may be made out to Special Olympics Vermont with "Chittenden" in the memo section. You may hand checks to me or mail checks to:

Thanks, for your support! Dave
