It’s definitely feeling like those hazy, crazy days of Summer. We are cautiously optimistic about opportunities coming up in August, September, and October. Remember to honor physical distancing, wear a mask and stay safe!
 We are excited to announce that today,  Special Olympics Wyoming  will be participating in WyoGives! This 24-hour online event is a great way to get our community excited about giving locally and supporting Special Olympics Wyoming athletes. Our goal is to have these funds support “We’re Back” and underwriting the additional costs of hosting events in this time of COVID-19. Please take a look at the web page for more information.
