A link below provides the webinar version of the 2019 Partnership Summit that was canceled due to weather. We are sending this to Ambassadors and Knights across Indiana with the hope that all Councils will have the chance to get this information regarding our 50 years of partnership to impact children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Thank you for your time, whether you skim the webinar or watch the entire thing or just forward this on to the Councils in your District!
We tried to take the planned 2 hour meeting and abbreviate it as much as possible, but please be warned the webinar ended up 40 minutes in length because this is a historical moment in history that we don’t want you to miss! This webinar highlights our partnership, the 50th Anniversary of Special Olympics Indiana, some wonderful history from our President and CEO and how you, your Council, your District and your parish can be part of this historic moment in time to impact over 16,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities in Indiana.
As always the partnership with the Knights of Columbus is so important to the athletes of Special Olympics Indiana and we are so happy to share this information with you! I hope you enjoy and feel inspired by what you do for the athletes.
My sincere thank you for your support and for the opportunity to be your liaison throughout the year and especially this important year! Please let me know if you have questions.

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
Attached you will find the Knights of Columbus pin program that will be the means by which Knights can celebrate the 50th Anniversary! We’ve created the opportunity for Knights of Columbus members to show their support for this exciting anniversary and the 16,000 athletes of Special Olympics Indiana by making a minimum donation of $10 to receive a collectors 50th Anniversary Partnership Pin!
You can click the links to find the ORDER FORM and a LOG FORM for your use, to track the orders. Knights, family members and church members are welcome to make a donation to receive this pin. Please take orders in February to send in to our office. You can submit your form via e-mail, followed up with your Council’s donation in the mail or mail in the entire order with the donation. We will collect the orders in March and your pins will be ready for your pick up at the State Convention in May.
This is a quick turnaround, because we want you to have the most opportunity to wear your pins throughout the 50th Anniversary of Special Olympics Indiana!
