Many Ways to support SOKY through E-Commerce Sites

In addition to being a massive conduit of information and interaction, the Internet opens up a vast array of on-line fundraising opportunities. Special Olympics Kentucky regularly harnesses the power of the Internet with our fundraising sites for Polar Plunges and Plane and Truck Pulls, but you don’t have to wait for a special event to find a way to support SOKY on-line. E-commerce sites provide a long lasting, easy way for you to support Special Olympics athletes every time you shop.
