Often times we think “funding” when Special Olympics is mentioned. Yesterday I attended the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Ohio Special Olympics Summer Games and you could quickly feel the enormity of it all. The excitement from the athletes was was everywhere. The National Anthem was sung by two young men, who happened to be blind, in such a stirring manner that it brought warmth to your heart and soul. Then during the presentation portion when our Grand Master, Terry W. Posey, presented the Olympic committee our check for $200,000.00 you should have heard the roar of the crowd. It was tremendous and from the podium they couldn’t stop praising each of us for our generous support, which generated another round of applause. WE do make a difference.
I have updated our gallery with a few picture of that great event.
