A local nonprofit spread the love recently during the Washington and Greene County Special Olympics annual Fall Invitational.
During the opening ceremonies Sept. 17, KyleÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s Klassic presented the Special Olympics a check in the amount of $15,000.
KyleÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s Klassic honors the memory of Kyle Cratty, a proud Jefferson-Morgan Rocket and community member who passed away in 2019. The high school juniorÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s memory lives on through the nonprofit, founded by CrattyÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s sister, Hayley Cratty, and the annual KyleÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s Klassic 5K Run and Walk along the Montour Trail.
Funds raised during the KyleÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s 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, KyleÎÞëÊÓÆµ™s 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.
