Program
Ms. Dawn McCullen, Lead Coordinator Special Olympics Onslow County
Ms. McCullen gave a most inspirational overview of the Special Olympics here in Onslow County. She stated that the group recently participated in a competition and the group came away with a plethora of medals. She also stated that the Special Olympics of Onslow County, NC provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for people with intellectual disabilities or closely related developmental disabilities. They serve over 300 athletes who participate in our local and state games each year. The local games are held in the fall and in the spring.
Ms McCullen also stated that the Polar Plunge is the annual major fundraising event. They are currently in the fourth year, and the goal is to raise at least $30,000 to help support Onslow County athletes in the coming year.
She left us with a note that they are always in need of athletes and volunteers and they seek more participants from the local schools.
