Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators employees helped out at this year’s Special Olympics Georgia 2017 Summer Games.
The pest management company served as the Official Awards Sponsor for the event, which was hosted at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. More than 2,000 athletes from around the state participated in aquatics, athletics, volleyball, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, flag football and table tennis. Arrow Exterminators employees and their family members volunteered to help present award ribbons, escort athletes to their venues, deliver results sheets to the announcer and cheer on the athletes.
Arrow Exterminators also made a monetary donation to the Georgia chapter of the Special Olympics. For more than forty years, the non-profit organization has been working to improve the lives of thousands of children and adults with disabilities, and help them realize new dreams through year-round sports training and athletic competition.
“The Special Olympics Georgia is a valuable organization and it was an honor for us to be able to participate in the 2017 Summer Games and support the athletes and their families,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, president and CEO of ArrowExterminators. “Giving back to the local community is an important part of Arrow’s culture and we all thoroughly enjoyed getting to be a part of this worthwhile event.”
