On February 20th, we support fellow club member Serguei Lougovier, who will be representing our club by participating in the Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics of Michigan. Please support our friend with a generous donation, which is also tax deductible. Forward this info to others to increase the amount raised.

Thank you, Ford Soccer Club

Everyone deserves a chance at a happy and purposeful life. Yet people with intellectual disabilities face doubt, barriers, and low expectations. For many, Special Olympics is the only place where they find an opportunity to participate in their communities, develop belief in themselves, and feel like champions. For every inspiring Special Olympics athlete in Michigan there are 13 more people waiting for their chance - and so many more around the world. Donate today and help us reach out to one more person who wants to participate in Special Olympics.

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, 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 Olympics athletes and the community. Special Olympics is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS, so your gift is tax deductible.
