School District 54

District 54 Special Olympics is having its Annual Car Wash Fundraiser, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011, at Nathan Hale Elementary School, 1300 W. Wise Road in Schaumburg.

Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children with intellectual disabilities by giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympic athletes and the community. We like to focus on what athletes can do. Like everyone, Special Olympics athletes like to win, but more importantly- they strive to do their best. The sportsmanship that is demonstrated on the court, field, or on the track serves as an inspiration to all.

Donations received at the fundraiser will be used for programming for the 2011-12 school year. For more information on the District 54 Special Olympics program, please call District 54 Special Olympics office at (847) 357-2106.
