Mat-Su Valley - Put this event on your radar. The Special Olympics Alaska Mat-Su Community is hosting the 21st Annual Spaghetti Feed and Auction, February 25th, 5pm-7pm dinner and 7pm-9pm auction. Tickets are $10. The event will take place at Mat-Su Career & Tech High School, 2472 N. Seward-Meridian Pkwy, Wasilla.
The Mat-Su has 200+ athletes. Our athletes are top notch, and we want to provide the best possible opportunity for them to train and compete. The program allows our athletes to stay healthy, make long lasting friendships, and gives them a sense of accomplishment. Our athletes will melt your heart at first sight.
If you don’t know what the Special Olympics is all about, come join us for a night of fun and fundraising. Did you know that individuals who are involved with their communities are generally happier and more connected? I guarantee once you meet our amazing athletes you will want to get involved and become a unified partner, volunteer, or donor. The proceeds from this event stay right here in the Mat-Su Community to provide year-round sports training and friendly competition for our athletes and unified partners.
Contributions from our friends in the community make a HUGE difference in the lives of our athletes. It takes a village to continue the program and provide everything they need to train and compete. Our program provides all the uniforms, equipment, transportation, and hotel stays. Without support the program can’t continue.
So, if you want to feel you are making a difference in your community, come out and join us for dinner and stay for the auction, it is a blast! You will not be disappointed!
We love and appreciate our community supporters!
