FGMK was proud to sponsor and participate in the first Special Olympics Illinois Foundation Golf Outing on June 29th at the Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette, IL. The event successfully benefited 22,000 Special Olympic athletes and 20,000 Young Athletes in Illinois. Through programming in sports, health, education and community building, Special Olympics is changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by addressing the global injustice, isolation, intolerance and inactivity they face.
Along with thousands of runners, walkers, veterans and supporters, FGMK was proud to both sponsor and participate in A Safe Haven Foundation’s 5th Annual 5k RUN!
