Special Olympics Alaska needs help to complete 2011 scarf project
A small army of people who crochet and knit is needed to make scarves for Special Olympic athletes and volunteers.
Only 40 scarves have been collected, and the organization needs many more for the 350 people expected to participate in the local Winter Games from March 11 to March 13.
“Everyone who crochets or knits these scarves have just a tremendous story behind it,” said Special Olympics Alaska President and CEO Jim Balamaci. “Some are coming from all over the country, because they like Alaska or they have a sibling or relative or friend in Alaska, and some are doing it to give back.”
Information on how you can give a scarf and size and yarn color guidelines are available at http://www.specialolympicsalaska.org/.
