The first annual Special Olympics Connecticut Shorts for Sports® Dress-Down Day will take place at workplaces and schools across the state on Friday, May 20th. Participants will be granted the privilege of wearing shorts (or jeans or casual attire) to the office or school that day in exchange for their $5 donation to Special Olympics Connecticut. Each will receive a Shorts for Sports® sticker as a thank you and to show others they support Special Olympics.
