What an incredible night (and week) it was for Special Olympics PA - Westmoreland County. As previosly shared we have been very fortunate with donations as we had yet another check presentation on Tuesday!

This time was for one of our hardest working athletes Bret Burgman.

Bret is a proud member of the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting society. They generously selected us to be the recipient of their yearly fundraiser. The coins shown on the banner were sold starting in the spring until they sold out this fall! We would like to sincerely thank Bill Cable, as well as every member for their hard work and dedication to this.

If you have time check out their website! It’s so cool.

https://www.pswcs.org

In addition to all of the coins made and sold, they added a super special surprise in presenting Bret with a 3D raised larger coin version! How special of an honor that was.

The donation was for $7,400 and in addition to the Legion Ride (Busy Run and Jeannette Legion) our team total donations this week were $13,600!!

We are incredibly thankful for ALL involved. Last but certainly not least LETS GO WESTMORELAND!

We are extremely excited to announce the details of our Local Bowling event! All details are on the flyers 🎳🎳🎳

A county wide email as well as an email to all schools/organizations will be sent tomorrow. Paper mail by the end of the week.

As stated on flyers athletes do not need to attend a practice if you’re training/registering with a team but you’re more than welcome.

Steps to compete:

1. Register with a team or as an independent athlete.

2. Complete this link:

https://bit.ly/SOPA3RRwinter

Scroll down to the Three Rivers Region and follow it from there to bowling at Hillview Lanes. Takes about a minute or so. All athletes need to complete by 10/15.

3. Complete the new health history portal. This has taken place of the paper medical. There is no deadline for winter sports yet but please complete as soon as possible. You should create a profile under the athlete name and follow steps on the checklist. If unable to complete please don’t worry as we will be able to assist at practices or the event. We encourage everyone to attempt.

https://lqthzucab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015-ZsyaiCJPgbFjRfAvi1lueO71u8D2ZKk2r8hNaG0eISJOElzK3Cb1pznIIEUdH8fMGXYKy1Il23dGxQVCuoeLhyxdss1FakSrVgQRQ0R2ItINb8kIa2Zmva5qn14z8gOPWS8K3sq1j0UDaQjxHtVlzki87L6nh6d-tYKgI_v_4=&c=m5AE6aXS0XyC6Ron3ufXIzHfFDXAWW0CdJz33xA7Vm2hdHqZs5Bqjg==&ch=w284hpRTkomnDbsZ-TjulbjviPKQPmdmOC0PU1UyerLBmVLK8TEmtA==

If you have already signed up for bowling via an email from the Region you’re good to go for step 2. As well as if you completed step 3 for a Fall sport or otherwise. We will be doubling and tripling back through this in a few weeks. That is good for one year for any sport.

*Snowshoe and Alpine practice info will be sent as soon as it’s finalized.

Any other questions please reach out to us, thank you 🎳

With this post long overdue we would like to extend a HUGE thank you for an anonymous donation from a graduate of the Hempfield Sr. HS class of 1986.

They incredibly and so generously matched the Terry Ranieri outing this year in donating $3,000 dollars to our program!! They did not want named but you know who you are. We can’t thank you enough. As well as the Ranieri family.

Keeping Terry’s legacy! Donation is cool like whip🍦

*We know we have been getting a ton of questions about winter sports. We plan to have all of the event and practice info out by end of next week. At this point athletes are encouraged to go on to signup which we have been getting a good bit already. Along with completing the health history form. Here are the links:

In addition to all of that we will still be making our Facebook post, traditional email chains and paper mail. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience! This info will be for all our winter sports:

Alpine Skiing
Snowshoe
Bowling

Thank you 😊

What a crazy actioned packed 3 days for Westmoreland County sports!

Saturday, September 20th
Regional Bocce Fest @ AHN Montour
11 teams, 5 golds, 3 silvers, 2 bronze and a 4th

Sunday, September 21st
Regional Middle Road Tournament
3 flag football teams and 2 walkers
7-0 for Flag football with 3 golds (2 split)
Walkers brought home a gold, 2 silver and a bronze

Due to heat and other factors on Sunday, our Wolverines 2 and 3 flag teams elected to play each other Monday at practice for the official winner of that division (there were only 2 divisons yesterday). Very competiive and fun night.

Overall incredible weekend for us and we are extremely proud of every single athlete. Job extremely well done! Keep up the good work.

Go Westmoreland🥇🏈🚶(they need a bocce Emogi)

Last but certainly NOT least this could never be done without our incredible and dedicated coaches. You guys are amazing and are the reason this happens. We would like to extend a special thank you to Coach Marie for running our bocce program, Coach Joe for running our walking program and Coach Dan for running our flag football program. Along with all of our other assistant coaches. Thank YOU!

On a different note we also wanted to include that one of our athletes (Zachary Williams) is going to the Epilesy Monitoring unit starting on 9/24. He is ok but needs some adjusting with certain things. He is extremely positive and enthusiastic about this but he needs our help. Below is a link to send him a an ecard if you have a minute. He would absolutely love this and he is such an incredible leader in our County, being the head of our athlete leadership team and the athlete leader of our fundraising. Incredible young man! Let’s send him some more motivation. Good luck Zach ❤️

More pics from our local Bocce event!! Videos in comments. Winter sports update too**:

We have been getting a ton of questions regarding this so we hope this post helps. As most might have seen (email from the Region) the Regional signups started yesterday and run through 10/15. Here is the link:

https://bit.ly/SOPA3RRwinter

We offer snowshoe, alpine skiing and bowling as winter sports. In addition to filing out that form ALL athletes need to create a new health history portal. This is completely taking place of the paper medicals. We encourage everyone to at least create a profile (athlete name) and try it. We will have multiple practices with coaches there to help if you can’t get it to work. That deadline will be after 10/15 but it’s not confirmed yet. The link to that is:

https://lqthzucab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015-ZsyaiCJPgbFjRfAvi1lueO71u8D2ZKk2r8hNaG0eISJOElzK3Cb1pznIIEUdH8fMGXYKy1Il23dGxQVCuoeLhyxdss1FakSrVgQRQ0R2ItINb8kIa2Zmva5qn14z8gOPWS8K3sq1j0UDaQjxHtVlzki87L6nh6d-tYKgI_v_4=&c=m5AE6aXS0XyC6Ron3ufXIzHfFDXAWW0CdJz33xA7Vm2hdHqZs5Bqjg==&ch=w284hpRTkomnDbsZ-TjulbjviPKQPmdmOC0PU1UyerLBmVLK8TEmtA==

If you have already done this for fall sports or in general it’s good for one year until renewing. Again we will be there to help with this process and provide updates every time we get them.

As far as practice info we are still in the thick of things for our fall sports. We plan to have all winter sports info finalized by early October. As usual we will make a post on here, send out emails and paper mail to everyone interested in those sports. As well as to the public schools and organizations for bowling. We just wanted to confirm that no one has missed anything. Once the 10/15 deadline passes we will then reconfirm with everyone on the list that has signed up.

To simplify, right now athletes need to:

Sign up for the sports interested in ✅
Complete health history portal ✅

Nothing further needs done with Winter sports at this time. Please reach out with any questions!
