Check out one of the best national public service announcements featuring a Special Olympics athlete. It lasts only 40 seconds so be sure to watch the whole segment.  The spot was created in 2009 but still tells a relevant story of the Special Olympics influence on the life of a person with an intellectual disability.

Dear Special Olympics fans in Georgia,

We recently launched our RUGS FOR A REASON campaign that provides you with an elegant way to support Special Olympics Georgia  by purchasing area rugs that feature a subtle presentation of the Special Olympics logo.

This innovative campaign is donating 80 percent of its proceeds to Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA). RUGS FOR A REASON is currently being offered as a pilot program benefitting our organization. Find Out How You Can Help By Clicking here.
  
Our Goals
The RUGS FOR A REASON campaign aims to accomplish two
objectives:

1. Raise a record-breaking amount of money for SOGA.
2. Give supporters a new, elegant way to demonstrate their love for SOGA.

How you can Help
There are two ways you can show your support.

1. Click here and go to rugsforareason.com and purchase a rug for yourself, a loved one, or a participating athlete.
2. Go to rugsforareason.com and spread our message by sharing on Facebook and Twitter, or forwarding this email. Thanks in advance; even the smallest effort can make a big impact.

About the Rugs
We have partnered with Shaw, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-quality area rugs, to design and produce this beautiful collection featuring the Special Olympics logo. It has been a joy at recent events to watch athletes and supporters try to locate the Special Olympics logos in these versatile, stylish area rugs. You can see them for yourself now at rugsforareason.com.

Each detail of the design is woven into these area rugs, as opposed to the less-impressive printed or dyed patterns you might find elsewhere. With Shaw’s quality, you can count on enjoying these area rugs for many years to come. There are several rug designs to choose from, allowing everyone the opportunity to find the most suitable rug for their space. Whether it’s a gift to an athlete, a conversation piece at your office, or an elegant addition to your home, you can show your support  for SOGA  with style.

Thank you for visiting www.rugsforareason.com to show your support for Special Olympics Georgia!
