Every individual, organisation or workforce will
have a chance to get involved in raising money through local fundraising
events and through the Support an Athlete national campaign.
There are a number of interesting and fun ways
to raise money for 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
These include Theme nights, Table/Pub Quiz, Treasure
Hunt, Sponsored Walk/Run/Silence/Fast, Soccer competition, and Barbeque.
Many more ideas are outlined on the Special
