November 2, 2009 - PEI Automobile Dealers Association Supports Special Olympics PEI - The Prince Edward Island Automobile Dealers Association recently donated over $5,500 to Special Olympics PEI as part of their April Car Campaign fundraiser. Seventeen new automobile dealers across PEI participated in the month long campaign with a portion from every car sold/leased during the month going to Special Olympics PEI.

This annual donation marks over $113,000 donated to Special Olympics PEI since 1987 through their April Car Campaign.

“This donation will help Special Olympics PEI to continue to provide over 40 sport programs to more than 340 athletes with an Intellectual Disability. It is because of corporations and individuals like the PEI Automobile Dealers Association that SOPEI is able to provide programs in communities Island-wide and look to provide sports opportunities to more individuals with intellectual disabilities.” comments Valerie Downe, Special Olympics Executive Director.
