Community Challenge Week for Special Olympics
October 2009
The New Jersey Association of Legal Administrators recently teamed with the New York City Association of Legal Administrators to mark ALA's Community Challenge Week with "The Liberty Bowl," a bowl-a-thon to raise money for The Special Olympics. This combined event, which took place on October 6 in New York City and October 17 in Linden, New Jersey, raised over $6000 in donations from NJ/NYC ALA members and business partner sponsors, for the benefit of The Special Olympics. At each event, NJ/NYC ALA members were teamed with athletes from The Special Olympics. All bowlers received a special commemorative t-shirt, shown in the photo, for participating in the event.
