The second fundraiser is a Dine & Donate event, to take place on Sunday (July 6th), at Clarion River Brewing Company, also at the corner of South 6th and Main.

Ten percent of all food sales designated for Clarion County Special Olympics will go directly to the local organization. You and your party must let your server know that you intend to donate.

SOPA Clarion offers their athletes, who hail from throughout the county, various sports, including basketball, volleyball, powerlifting, bowling and golf. They compete in Western Regional and State competitions.

This, has already been a busy week for the athletes and coaches, as they took part in the Grand Opening of the new Sheetz in Monroe Township, on Route 68 at the former Ramada Inn site.

A number of the athletes participated, with Vanessa Larson doing a fine presentation on some of the great things Clarion County Special Olympics has going on.

The big highlight of the Grand Opening was when the athletes accepted a $2,500 donation for all of Pennsylvania Special Olympics, from Emily Sheetz.
