Don't forget after the St. Patrick's Day Parade, Sunday March 10th at 2PM there will be a charity event at the Splash Cove parking lot (Johnson Drive and King St in downtown Shawnee)
Various teams have been formed and will attempt to pull a police armored vehicle and a firetruck 50 feet.
This is being done to raise money for Kansas Special Olympics. All money raised stays in Kansas and helps the Special Olympics .
So, what about donating. Each team member is trying to get as many doantions as possible, and there is a little challenge going on to see who can raise the most money.
One of the teams is the City Hall Crusaders and their page is http://heroespull.ksso.org/2013/crusaders/ You can click on the name of an individual team member and make your donation in their name. I chose to make mine on behalf of my Ward 4 councilmember Michelle Distler, and her page can be accessed directly at http://heroespull.ksso.org/2013/crusaders/michelledistler/
Join in..........the donations don't have to be big..............every bit helps............it's for a good cause.........and then turn out on the 10th of March to cheer the team on............I can hardly wait to see them pulling those vehicles.
Side note: If you're bashful, the donation page (since this is a charity) has a box that you can check to be anonymous.
