This year, we are fortunate to have Neal Johnson, President and CEO of
Special Olympics New York, speaking at Wednesday's dinner about the drive to raise funding for Special Olympians from New York to attend the World Games in China this October. We will, during and after dinner, be selling tickets to be placed in bags for prizes you may want to win. A couple examples of prizes our committee has been able to procure are: two night stay at
The Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid, a one night stay at the
Melville Marriott with 2 Mets tickets, a one night stay at the
Gideon Putnam Hotel in Saratoga with a $100 gift certificate for Spa services. These are just a few of the many prizes you can purchase tickets for. One hundred percent of the money earned at this ticket auction will go to Special Olympics New York to support the trip to China. It costs upwards of $5,000 to send an athlete to this event. If we could raise enough for half a trip it would be outstanding! Please bring a little extra to support the cause on Wednesday night.
