Community Dunk - Thank You!
Garrett County Chamber of Commerce
On Thursday, February 20, the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce partnered with Special Olympics Maryland to host the second Community Dunk! The community rallied around the event in a BIG WAY and 31 dunkers and 105 donors raised $13,230 to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Garrett County and Special Olympics Marland Winter Games at Wisp. Team Garrett received special recognition for being the highest funding team with County Administrator Kevin Null named the top raising individual. Warriors of Wisp received a special Community Spirit Award from Chris Nichols and the Deep Creek Lake Centennial for having the most team members.
We are so grateful to all the dunkers who stepped up to the challenge and plunged into the 36º depths and we’re also thankful to all the spectators who braved the snow flurries and a real feel temperature in the negatives to cheer them on. The Community Dunk has proven to be a wonderful bonding experience in support a worthy cause and we can’t thank you all enough.
We would be remiss if we did not also thank the event’s generous sponsors, First Peoples Community Federal Credit Union, G&W Lumber, Inc., and New Earth Landscapes, whose contributions allowed us to host Business After During Hours in tandem with the Dunk and treat all our guests to delicious food and drink catered by UNO Pizzeria & Grill and Honi-Honi Bar. Again, THANK YOU ALL!
