It turns out that before we ever met, Vickey Ritchie and I attended the same Night to Shine ! Tonight Coach was back at it in Galax 💘

Coach Vickey Ritchie reports that a good number of athletes from Carroll County Special Olympics were privileged to participate in Night to Shine at The Rock, a local church in Galax, VA, along with many other members of the special-needs community.  Volunteers from the community turned out to cheer as each king or queen came through the door, and then it was on to a fun night of dancing, karaoke, and food. 

     The church and many helpers work hard to make this an event that honors each attendee. Chief Mike Ayers and several members of the Galax Fire Department form an honor guard to escort Kings and Queens from the limo to the red carpet to go inside.  The music plays from six till nine, and the dance floor is always full.

Proud to list Tim Tebow as my inspirational 🙌 guide, Proud to know Coach Vickey 💙
