Happy Thanksgiving from the Richmond YPB! 🦃🍁🥧 We are thankful not only for the fellowship the board provides for our members, but also for our vast network of supporters outside of the board. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to spread our message of inclusion, or raise money to support thousands of athletes across Virginia. If you’re feeling extra for the work we do and would like to support SOVA, you can do so here: https://impact.specialolympicsva.org/ypb
Lots of love from our family to yours ❤️

YPB POWER COUPLE ALERT 🚨 🎉
Taryn and Travis were honored at Summer Games last weekend as Volunteers of the Chapter! 👏🏼🥳😎🎉🫶🏼
Taryn said it best, “During the ceremony I was brought to tears many times~ the whole stadium singing Country Roads, celebrating the other honorees, the Torch Run, and just the general spirit of joy and inclusion. I LOVE volunteering for Special Olympics- like how lucky am I to be able to do that and to play a small role in events throughout the year?“
We are so thankful to have both of these incredible humans on our board. They embody everything we stand for, they put the mission first, and they are truly what each us should strive to be.
- Thank YOU for everything you do for our board and for our SOVA athletes. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to keep making a difference with you!
