Community Teams List Growing

Athletes needing a group for practice and competition might consider joining a Community Team.

Community Teams are organized by families and other volunteers in the community. Don't see one in your area? Consider organizing one.

 

For more information contact Cathi Morris. 

 Thank you SONIC!

Earlier this year in April, Sonic Drive-Ins in Oklahoma donated a portion of Wacky Pack sales to Special Olympics Oklahoma.  Special Olympics athlete Matt Newberry, a recent Global Messenger graduate, gave his first speech to say thank you to the Central Oklahoma Sonic Co-op franchisees. Al Talley, a Global Messenger for several years, shared his thank you speech with the Tulsa Area Franchisees.

Sonic Drive-Ins presented Special Olympics Oklahoma a check for $77,400.

Thank you SONIC!
