Ian Castaneda, SO Team NC-aquatics
Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page.
Go Special Olympics Team
North Carolina !
I am very excited and honored to have been selected to compete in aquatics at the first-ever Special Olympics National Games at
Iowa
State
University in
Ames, Iowa . This will be my first out-of-state competition and I’m very excited to be competing at the national level. I will be among 3,500 athletes from all 50 states and the
District of Columbia who will showcase their athletic talent this summer, July 2-7. My parents, Ven and Carmen, will be there to see me compete. My Auntie Lorna and grandma from New Jersey will also be there.
Special Olympics athletes are never required to pay a fee to participate but it will cost approximately $2,000 to send me to
Iowa . I am asking for your support in helping to see my dreams come true. Your donation to Special Olympics North Carolina will provide for vital items such as travel, uniforms and equipment. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.
I am determined to do my very best and bring home a gold medal. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate, too!
I can’t wait to make
North Carolinians proud! Thank you!
Ian
