Our group consists of Amber
Vogel, Jake Bickel, Ryan Hughes, Chelsea Lewis and Lauren Leavitt. We are
working together in Group Communication and we will be doing a bake sale to
raise money for the Special Olympics. Our goal is to obtain a total of 25 community
service hours through this bake sale.
The goal of our
project is to raise money for Special Olympics New York. We chose this
organization because we believe in the ideals they represent and stand united
with their efforts to help individuals develop physical fitness, demonstrate
courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of skills and friendship
with their families, Special Olympics athletes and communities. Our project of
working with the Special Olympics New York has 2 phases. The 1st phase involves Jake
working in the office for a day to help with clerical work. The 2nd phase calls for a bake
sale on campus to fundraise donation money to deliver to Special Olympics New
York.
Special Olympics
New York is a non-profit organization that offers regional, state, and national
competitions for intellectually handicapped people of all ages. The main mission of this organization is to
allow these athletes to not only let them compete on an equal playing field but
to learn the many lessons that sports has to offer. For more information on the
Special Olympics of New York, check out their website.
Our service learning project
will not only help us improve our ability to work in teams (a skill many of us
will need for our future careers), but will also help the Special Olympics New
York to be able to provide support to countless handicapped people across New
York State. We are proud to be helping this organization and hope to be
successful in raising money to support the work they are doing.
