Let me WIN. But if I cannot win, Let me be BRAVE in the attempt. This is the motto of the Special Olympics Connecticut and On June 7th, 8th & 9th 2013 the Summer Games will be held. This year the WWE is a partner sponsor, yet again showing us how they are determined to help by giving back to the people. Having a family member with autism, nothing makes me happier than to see a corporation like the WWE & so many others making it possible for these athletes to have such an incredible experience.
