Oberweis Ice Cream and Dairy Eat and Earn to benefit Lincolnway Special Recreation Association

Here is an easy way to support the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association (LWSRA) and their Special Olympics Illinois athletes.

Download a flyer at http://www.lwsra.org/funding/fundraisers/dine_in.asp and bring it with you to the Oberweis Ice Cream and Dairy store, 11310-12 West Lincoln Highway, Mokena, on Tuesday, July 31 and 30% of your purchase will be donated to the LWSRA.

The goal for this fundraiser is to keep fees affordable for LWSRA athletes to compete at Special Olympics Illinois state competitions.  There are fees that LWSRA must incur to send athletes to these competitions.  In order to keep these fees down, and possibly even reduce them to zero, LWSRA created fundraisers like this one.  However, support is needed by YOU to attend these events in order to make them successful.  Please consider supporting LWSRA Special Olympics teams and be a part of the goal of reducing state tournament fees.
