2009 State Football Championships | Benefiting Special Olympics Washington
The WIAA L.E.A.P. Committee helped to raise $3,010.00 for Special Olympics Washington over two days at the WIAA/Dairy Farmers of Washington/Les Schwab Tires Gridiron Classic! The students were responsible for running activities at half time of each game in which schools competed to see who could raise the most money. Fans donated pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar bills. After half time, the L.E.A.P. Committee members counted the donations and determined which school collected the most coins. An announcement was made during the third quarter of every game, informing the audience of how much each school donated. Thank you to all of the students, parents and fans for helping to support Specialy Olympics Washington!
Visit the L.E.A.P. Committee page to view a slide show of Coins for a Cause. |
