On behalf of Special Olympics Illinois Board of Directors Vice Chair Kathy Schniedwind, we invite you to help us honor Dave for his years of service and dedication. Please submit a brief video sharing a favorite story or thanking Dave for all he has done for the Special Olympics movement. All videos will be compiled and shared with Dave to enjoy.
