Special Olympics Runs Through Crescent City

Special Olympics Northern California hosted a run to raise awareness and donations for a very special group of hero Olympians.  On hand to start the run in front of Ocean World and finish at the California Highway Patrol were law enforcement from CDCR Pelican Bay, Del Norte Sheriff’s Office, CHP, Crescent Fire and Rescue and an escort from the CCPD.

Event Coordinator Keena Gavin reported last year, $1 million was raised across the North State and $.91 of each dollar went to these Special Olympians. This week-end, athletes will participate in 11different sports at Santa Clara University.

Contributions to this highly cause may be donated through the group’s Special Olympics Northern California website: SONC.org.
