Special Olympics Nebraska

YORK, Nebraska is the PROUD home of the Special Olympics Nebraska State Flag Football Tournament on October 21st and 22nd. We are EXTREMELY excited for this opportunity! Special Olympics Nebraska is a tremendous service oriented organization that we're thrilled to support.

I've had the good fortune of helping out with Special Olympic events when I was in high school in Florida and when I worked in Franklin, Nebraska. Every second you spend around Special Olympians is worth it. I love to feed off their enthusiasm, energy, respect, and just pure joy of doing something they love. If you ever want, or need to re-focus and find "perspective," get involved with Special Olympics!

We anticipate 20+ teams and over 400 spectators and you better believe we will be rolling out red carpet for these folks. We'll be looking for around 50 volunteers to work 4-hour shifts. Volunteers will be needed to run the scoreboards, hold the down markers, help with the skills competition, and assist with awards. We will also need lots of "fans in the stands" to cheer these teams on. If you want to get involved, please let me know.

We are so grateful for Special Olympics Nebraska and all they do for folks with special needs. This is going to be a HUGE success for York, Nebraska.
