Yakima Special Olympics Bowling Is Looking For Donations

I’ve had a few different listeners reach out to me and let me know about Yakima Special Olympics trying to raise funds to help with their 2026 Fall Bowling program.

They’re shooting for a goal of $10,000 that will go a long way in helping these athletes. As of the time of this writing, they’re at $1,510. They still have a long way to go, but with the love and support of the Yakima Valley community, I’m confident they can get there.

“Bowling is one of our most popular and inclusive sports, but it is also our most expensive, so any help we can get is greatly appreciated.”
– Tim McDonald.
