Help me reach my fundraising goal as I take the plunge for Special Olympics NY. Your donations mean more now than ever before.

Your support will directly affect the ability for the athletes of Special Olympics NY to participate in trainings, activities, and competitions at no cost to them. 

Coaching has been part of my Special Olympic journey for over 45 years. Sports include Bocce, Snowshoeing, and Bowling during 2025. Our team, the Adirondack Rednecks, is filled with dedicated athletes, dedicated unified partners, and dedicated coaches. We enjoy our training sessions and are eager to compete locally, regionwide, and statewide.  This October the team came home from State Fall Games in Glens Falls for bocce with 2 Gold medals and a Bronze in their respective divisions.  Two athletes competed in State Winter Games in  Rochester for snowshoeing and enjoyed the travel experience and competition.  June saw the majority of the team in Ithaca for State Summer Games for bowling.

Our team is also excited about the planning stages for the Harrietstown Rotary Park which is scheduled to include 2 bocce courts for the community in the future!  We are thrilled with the prospect of training on official bocce designed courts.  

Please consider a $25 dollar donation to support my TEAM of motivated athletes to continue their quest to go for the GOLD!
