Basically, the businesses here in my area who usually help the local Special Olympics buy t-shirts can't spare the cash this year. So they're calling on residents to help out since the t-shirts are a big hit with the athletes. They only need $1500 to cover the costs.
I know the economy and a long election season has a lot of us spent out as well, but we have numbers on our side. With the thousands of members here, if everyone could send just a dollar we could knock this on out. (I'm sending in $50)
If you really can't spare anything just k&r this so others can see it, please.Heres the story in the local paper:
