SPECIAL OLYMPICS


Human Support Services is pleased to announce three Special Olympics athletes, Kristina, Candy and Mike, participated in the Summer Games held in Normal and Bloomington at the Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University campuses June 13 to 15.  They participated in the softball throw, 50 meter run and 100 meter walk, bringing back a bronze and silver medal, as well as ribbon of participation.  During the opening ceremonies, Governor Pat Quinn signed a bill creating a special state lottery scratch-off game to benefit the Special Olympics.
