Robert’s 1998 Land Rover Range Rover Donated to Special Olympics
Special Olympics Car Donation Review
“Thank you for giving these athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest level.”
I have a special place in my heart for the Special Olympics.
I worked as a volunteer during the early stages of the program. I was an administrator with the Los Angeles Unified School District and we participated at the time as an early implementer. It was the first time our students got to compete in athletic events at their School. I remember the look on their faces as they competed with as much vigor as the rest of the students.
I also worked as a volunteer at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics at the Tennis and Gymnastics venues. Hopefully, I will be able to also participate in 2028.
I have the privilege to be a board member of the Broadway Gymnastics Foundation which was founded by Peter Vidmer. Peter was a gold medalist in the 84 games. We have written and received grants from organizations like LA 84. LA 84 is a foundation dedicated to the underserved young people in Los Angeles.
Our most recent grant was from LA 84 in which we ran a class for Autistic girls. The funds available from the 84 games have been used in a wonderful manner and we were appreciative that we had the opportunity to provide the service…
Thank you for giving these athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
Thank You, Robert!
Every day we empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life. But for every Special Olympics champion, there is another who is waiting for a chance to win. Please donate and help us get one more athlete onto the playing field.

Oli’s 2010 Honda Insight Donated to March of Dimes
This was my first ever car that I got while in college. I planned to buy a cheap, used car with my savings but my mom surprised me by chipping in a bunch to help me get a new car. I named her Eustace and she carried me the 6+ hours to and from college for every vacation. She witnessed first love, graduation, and moved to the big city with me. She was tough, facing blazing summers, snow plows burying her for days, and alternate side parking. She drove my fiancee and I to our first house and then our wedding. She came and went to the NICU dozens of times until our beautiful baby was ready to come home months later. I was so nervous driving with our baby in the back seat for the first time, but Eustace was as steady and reliable as ever. She’s retired from our family now, but can hopefully still do some good for others.
