How Donations Are Used     Donating Through Recycling

Special Olympics Westmoreland County is a non-profit organization deriving all operating funds from donations obtained through the generosity of the individuals and the business and private communities to fund its programs. The local program receives no financial support from government agencies, the United Way* or any other larger organization.  All donations made to the local program are used within the local program.
We ask our athletes to give us everything they have when they train and compete.  All we are asking you to give what you can because, together, it works wonders.
*Financial support is available through the United  Way Donor Option Plan, #381.     Back to Top
