Bird Kultgen Ford is proud to once again sponsor the Special Olympics – Texas Spring Games this month in Waco! This unique event is an excellent opportunity to experience excitement and community involvement with our partnership with Special Olympics – Texas. Special Olympics works to transform lives through the joy of sport, each and every day. They empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life. Those are values Bird Kultgen Ford is honored to support and highlight.
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and their community. The movement is also about working together with others, gaining self-confidence and learning additional skills that make it possible for our athletes to become significant and productive citizens of our communities.
Please join Bird Kultgen Ford at Connally High School Saturday, April 27th as we support our local Special Olympics athletes and community members as they compete in the 2019 Spring Games event!
Special Olympics Texas is a registered 501(c)(3), non-profit organization supported by private donations from individuals, corporations and organizations throughout the state. Visit their website for helpful information on how donations are utilized. Donations can be made online here.
