Happy New Year from
Special Olympics Vermont

Penguin Plunge
Thank you for your support of Special Olympics Vermont in 2009.  We saw exciting new developments; including growing enthusiasm for our Young Athletes program, continued growth in our school Unified Sports programs and over 10% increase in athlete participation.  With your generous contributions and support, we were able to offer training and competition for over 850 athletes, many of whom trained and competed in several sports.

We are excited to welcome 2010.  Our calendar is packed with exciting fundraising events, sporting events and competitions and the 2nd ever National Games.  Please visit www.vtso.org for up-to-date information and volunteer opportunities or see below for a sneak peek!

We wish you all the best in 2010.  Thank you for your generosity, your support, your time and being a member of our Special Olympics Vermont family.

Sincerely,

William D. Porreca
President/CEO
