A local nonprofit spread the love recently during the Washington and Greene County Special Olympics annual Fall Invitational.
During the opening ceremonies Sept. 17, KyleÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Klassic presented the Special Olympics a check in the amount of $15,000.
KyleÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Klassic honors the memory of Kyle Cratty, a proud Jefferson-Morgan Rocket and community member who passed away in 2019. The high school juniorÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ memory lives on through the nonprofit, founded by CrattyÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ sister, Hayley Cratty, and the annual KyleÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Klassic 5K Run and Walk along the Montour Trail.
Funds raised during the KyleÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Klassic race were, as in years past, donated to the local chapter of the Special Olympics, because Cratty had Down syndrome, said Hayley Cratty.
Following the Fall Invitational opening ceremonies, KyleÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Klassic members enjoyed a sunny afternoon alongside the recipients of their donation. Attendees played soccer and Bocce, and participated in long-distance running and walking events.
