Our Special Olympians 
Rashawn and Wallace, our two Special Olympics athletes competing for Team USA at the World Games, returned with medals clinking around their necks on July 6. Both athletes won bronze medals in English Equitation on June 29th, and paired up with each other on July 2nd to win gold medals in the two-person Team Relay. Rashawn and Wallace were two of eleven Special Olympics athletes competing for Team USA in equestrian, and joined seven other athletes from South Carolina at the World Games. Rashawn was named captain of the American Equestrian Team.
Rashawn and Wallace received a Commendation from the Mayor of Hilton Head Island, Drew Laughlin, on August 2nd and visited with Governor Nikki Haley on August 10.
