ROANOKE, Va. – Support is flying in for Special Olympics Virginia!
The Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport is hosting its second-ever “Plane Pull” this fall to raise money for the cause.
Last year’s event pulled in over $85,000. Organizers say the unique fundraiser makes for a good time.
“It’s a great way to come together on a beautiful fall morning with your friends, colleagues, gym goers to raise money for a good cause. There’s really a palpable energy that’s so positive. We’ve got Special Olympics athletes and coaches out there.”
Alexa Briehl, PR and marketing and media manager, Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport
There will be food trucks and areas for people to come out and cheer. They’re even planning a smaller Plane Pull for kids.
