VOLUNTEERS!    DOUBLE THE GIFT OF YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH COMPANY MATCHING.

Want to make a BIG impact on Special Olympics New York?  Your gift of volunteered time may be matched in dollars by your company's matching gift program.  Thousands of companies offer this opportunity to greatly increase the charitable support provided by their employees.

Visit your personnel office to ask if they match donations of volunteered time and obtain a matching gift form.  Bring the form with you to our Summer Games when you register as a volunteer. 

And, if you choose to also make a tax-deductible financial contribution to Special Olympics New York, many employers will match that as well. Imagine the power of your gift when it is doubled or tripled.  One soccer ball becomes two.  Training one coach becomes two.  Changing one attitude becomes two.
