Publix, Procter & Gamble, and Special Olympics have partnered together for 32 years to help people with intellectual disabilities achieve their dreams. Here’s how you can help…
• Support Special Olympics while you shop at Publix by purchasing your favorite P&G products like Charmin, Pantene, and Downey and many other well-known brands during the month of January.
• And while you’re at Publix until Jan. 25, show you’re a fan of Special Olympics by purchasing your very own paper torch at the check-out register for $1, $3, $5 or $10 to support Special Olympics and your local athletes!
Be sure to check out this link and watch two athlete videos.
This year’s torches include $14 in coupons on select Procter and Gamble products. These coupons are good above and beyond the brandSAVER™ coupons, so purchase a torch and you’ll find out just how rewarding it is to “Be a fan”!

Help us reach our goal of 2,400 scarfs by January 10, 2012!

Or drop them off at that same address in Atlanta.
Holiday Donations
by SOGAYou Can be a Hero to an Athlete
by SOGAYou don’t have to be a professional athlete to be a hero to a Special Olympics athlete. As athletes are an inspiration, you can also be one by becoming a coach and teaching healthy habits or a sport, being there for an athlete at a State Games as a fan and, of course, making a donation. Without scoring a touchdown or pitching a no-hitter on the big screen, you can still help create a level playing field for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Click here to donate today.
Every little bit counts:
You can make a difference:
●$25 provides medals for one competition;
●$50 provides 3 athletes housing for 2 nights at a State Games; and
●$100 feeds 20 athletes one meal at a State Games.
Help show that everyone can be a hero and that everyone can be good when we work together.
