Dear Brethren,
The following is the awards program for the “Sponsor-An-Athlete” program for 2016
- A donation of $500 to $999.00 from a lodge will receive a certificate signed by the Grand Master and Special Olympics. This certificate will be given to the lodge at the Registration table of Grand Lodge 2016.
- BRONZE MEDAL AWARD: A donation of $1000 to $1499.00 will receive a Special Olympic Medal plaque presented by the Grand Master at Grand Lodge.
- SILVER MEDAL AWARD: A donation of $1500 to $1999.00 will receive a Special Olympic Medal plaque presented by the Grand Master at Grand Lodge.
- GOLD MEDAL AWARD: A donation of $2000.00 or more will receive a Special Olympic Medal plaque presented by the Grand Master at Grand Lodge.
- The “Jerry C. Rasor Award” will be presented at Grand Lodge by the Grand Master to the lodge that raises the most money contributed to the “Sponsor-an-Athlete program for 2016.
The cost for an Athlete to attend the summer games is approximately $170.00, this figure goes up each year with the cost of housing and food. We must point out that donations for the “Award Program” are calculated from the money given through the Charitable Foundation for the Sponsor-an-Athlete program. We have no way of tracking money given to the local organization by your lodge. We would also like to remind you that checks should be made out to the Charitable Foundation, and should have “Special Olympics” and your lodge number on the memo line. Please earmark these funds for Special Olympics so you will receive credit for your donation. We thank you for your continued support of Ohio’s Special Olympics Athletes.
Fraternally,
Michael D. Cecil PDDGM
