McKean County Special Olympics and Staff
Due to all of your support and generosity we were able to issue a check to McKean County Special Olympics in the amount of $1,600.00! We had 23 Special Olympians who participated in the walk! We also had 5 staff/employess who came out and joined in the fun with both the 2 mile walk and run! This was surely an amazing group to watch; they had everyone laughing and they were full of hugs. They even made sure Brenda was back in and part of the team again! What a way to bring a smile to your face!
