Star of the Sea’s featured charity is Special Olympics Montgomery County (SOMO)

What is SOMO?  
Special Olympics Montgomery County (SOMO) provides a year-round training and competitive sports program for Montgomery County children and adults with intellectual disabilities and/or closely related developmental disabilities.

Did you know SOMO has long time connections with Blessed Sacrament?
Scores of Blessed Sacrament parishioners are involved in SOMO’s programs as athletes, cheerleaders, unified sports partners, managers and coaches—and as supporters of the ever popular youth basketball exhibition hosted at BS each year. 

Changes to SOMO due to COVID-19 safety regulations:
Blessed Sacrament will continue its SOMO basketball program this spring with many costly requirements:

• moving the program outdoors and holding practices in two smaller groups at separate times 
• purchasing permits to reserve outdoor court spaces
• providing separate basketballs for each athlete to use in drills, and balls must be cleaned after each practice session.
• purchasing new uniforms (although those would not be used until next year)

How can Sodalists help?
Star of the Sea is requesting donations to help pay for the outdoor permits, basketballs, cleaning supplies and uniforms.

To support the Blessed Sacrament SOMO basketball program and its vital work in our parish community, please:

• Mail a check to Special Olympics Montgomery County, P.O. Box 1809, Rockville, MD 20850 note that the funds are designated for the Blessed Sacrament SOMO basketball program; OR
• Donate online via this link to SOMO ONLINE STORE
  • From the store, select SOMO’s Online Gift Program
  • indicate the number of increments of $25 you wish to donate (e.g. a gift of $100 would be a quantify of 4)
  • indicate in the box for “Ordering Instructions” that your gift is to support the Blessed Sacrament SOMO basketball program

Thank you for your generosity
     

Your support is greatly appreciated so that Blessed Sacrament’s SOMO basketball program may continue to provide programming during this difficult time.
