Members of the Knights of Columbus Msgr. Francis J. Desmond Council 13348 of Lewes recently presented a check for $2,000 to Special Olympics Delaware.
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 sharing gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Funds were raised through a Polar Bear Plunge dunk tank and the Knights’ Tootsie Roll Drive, which supports Individuals with special needs.
