$205,000 Sets New Special Olympics Record
Despite the current tough economic times, Ohio Freemasons have surpassed the benchmark set in previous years by giving $205,000 to support the Summer Games of the Ohio Special Olympics.
Grand Master Charles Murphy, accompanied by the Grand Lodge Officers, Brother Jim “Spudd” Sasak—the Bicycle Ambassador, and a procession of approximately 340 Freemasons, led the parade of athletes during the official opening ceremonies of the Summer Games on Friday, June 26 at the Jesse Owen’s Stadium in Columbus.
The procession was greeted by the appreciative applause of both athletes and parents, which reached a roaring crescendo when the ceremonial check for $205,000 was presented.
Brother Sasak timed his county bicycle tour, promoting Ohio Freemasonry & Special Olympics, to end at the opening ceremonies. His tour of the boarder-counties proved to be a wonderful opportunity to serve as an ambassador of goodwill.
