Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC)

Donors

“My brother Joey was part of the first Special Olympics Games in Chicago in 1968. The excitement and pride that he received from that experience changed his life. He always wore his recent received medals for everyone to see and of course to congratulate him.”

-Judi Garfi-Partridge
