Allen Special Olympics Delegation | BiddingForGood Fundraising Auction

The generosity of all of the Allen Special Olympics Delegation Supporters made our 17th Annual "Special Angels Among Us" Benefit Dinner and Auction on March 21st, 2015 a tremendous success and the evening very special!! The picture features the "2015 Athlete Quilt" as our backdrop along with many of our attending athletes in front.

We were blessed with 10 Sponsors and 24 Program Advertisers. Attendance totaled 331! Our net profit for the event was over $51,200, 3% higher than last year and a new record high!

We have a few auction items that did not have a winning bidder the night of the Benefit and a few that arrived late therefore we are holding an "After Auction" on-line event starting on May 31st and ending on June 11th.

Please take a few minutes to view these awesome items as you may be interested in bidding on one or more of them. The winning bidder will be contacted to coordinate pickup at a central location in Allen, Texas designated by the Allen Special Olympics Delegation. Winning bidders who are not able to pick up an item from the central location will be responsible for shipping charges.

The Allen Special Olympics Program

The Allen Special Olympics program provides year-round sports training, athletic competition and social opportunities to more than 150 athletes, ages 8 through adulthood, in Allen and the surrounding areas. Sports include: Aquatics, Basketball, Bocce, Bowling, Flag Football, Golf, Powerlifting, Tennis, Track & Field, and Volleyball. Volunteers serve as coaches and committee members to administer the program. Fundraising provides the much-needed resources that permit us to purchase equipment and uniforms, utilize training facilities and enables athlete attendance at competitions held at the local, regional, state and national levels. In addition, at least two family banquets are held annually providing an opportunity for the Delegation to recognize the athletes’ effort, determination, growth, and accomplishments achieved through individual and team competition.

Our goals are to recruit more coaches and volunteers, offer even more sporting opportunities and reach more athletes and their families.

If you would like to learn more about the program, make a donation, volunteer, coach, know of a person who may want to become an athlete, or provide suggestions for the 18^th Annual “Special Angels Among Us” Benefit Dinner and Auction in 2016, please do not hesitate to contact us at allensocommunicate@gmail.com.
