Arrow Exterminators recently participated as the Official Awards Sponsor at the Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) 2016 Summer Games hosted at Emory University in its headquarters city of Atlanta. As part of this sponsorship, Arrow team members and their families had the opportunity to serve as volunteers at the Summer Games and help present award ribbons, escort athletes to their venues, deliver results sheets to the announcer, and cheer on the athletes. Additionally, a monetary donation was made on behalf of Arrow Exterminators to the Special Olympics Georgia chapter.
Special Olympics Georgia is a non-profit organization that has been working for over four decades 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 2016 State Summer Games were held May 20-22 and hosted more than 1,900 athletes from around the state to compete in aquatics, athletics, volleyball, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, flag football and table tennis.
“Giving back to the local community, in all of the markets we serve, is an important part of Arrow’s culture,” says Emily Thomas Kendrick, Arrow’s president and CEO. “The Special Olympics Georgia is a valuable organization, and it was an honor to be able to participate in the 2016 Summer Games and support the athletes and their families.”
