Special Olympics looking for helping hands

April 28, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Special Olympics Wisconsin , says the organization is always looking for people to help out with events including the three day summer games held in Stevens Point in June.

Spokeswoman Kelly Kloepping says the camaraderie at the games is addicting and often brings repeat volunteers. Kloepping says they may see a boost in volunteers this year due to the recent media awareness campaign "spread the word to end the word" which aimed to educate people on the harmful effects of the word "retard."

Special Olympics Wisconsin runs monthly events in 18 different sports and nearly 80 games which includes the four-sport Summer Games.
