"During the Bridge to Bridge, we once again met so many individuals who wanted to learn how to get involved with Special Olympics and be a part of a movement that's all about inclusion and acceptance and helping our athletes be the best they can be. The Bridge to Bridge event also gave many people an opportunity to embrace our inspiring athletes."
"Special Olympics provides all of its athletic training and competition programs for FREE to all of our athletes and their families. It’s only through generous companies and individuals that we are able to fulfill our mission. Together KNBR, KFOG and The Bone have been a great partner for Special Olympics these past years, and we very much look forward to growing our partnership and reaching out to more local athletes that can benefit from participation in Special Olympics."
"Again, thank you so much for choosing Special Olympics Northern California to benefit from a beautiful athletic and community event this past year!"
Sincerely,
Kirsten Cherry
