Thank you to our generous community for making this year’s Special Olympics fundraiser a record breaking event! We had more spectators, more community raffle donations, and more total funds raised than any other year. The Special Olympics Weaver Warriors defeated the Summit DD Employee Basketball team in a fun, fast-paced game!
