Next Month: Special Olympics Volunteering Month
Get ready to share some fun, laughter and Carrington team spirit at this year’s Special Olympics Summer Games with our very own CCF on June 10-11 at California State University, Long Beach. Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries.
CCF is a proud sponsor of this unforgettable event, and many Southern California Carrington Associates will be supporting more than 1,100 Special Olympic athletes striving for the coveted gold, silver and bronze awards. The games have it all, including swimming, track and field, basketball, golfing, gymnastics and even bocce.
“CCF is very proud to sponsor such an important event,” said Shelly Lawrence, CCF Executive Director of Community Relations. “Being part of the Special Olympics is both inspiring and heartwarming. It is one of our favorite events, and is truly a great experience.”
We’d love for you to join us for this memorable weekend, whether you volunteer for a sport or cheer on the sidelines. Just watching these amazing athletes inspires greatness and compassion in everyone who attends. For instructions on how to register, click here.
