YEARS INVOLVED WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS:   2 1/2 years

WHAT IS YOUR VOLUNTEER POSITION:  Volunteer Coordinator on the Executive Team and Softball C Program Volunteer

HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED:   My brother, Kendrick Lim, is an athlete and the first event I attended was March Madness at Sutherland.  I stayed for the whole weekend and met some amazing coaches, athletes, volunteers and family members.   From that moment on, I knew I wanted to support and join this organization and I also thought it would be a great way for me to be more involved with my brothers life.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING: There are a lot of things I love about volunteering.

  1. As the Volunteer Coordinator, I like meeting new volunteers who are interested in joining our organization, it’s nice to see that people do want to support their community and help out where they can.
  2. I love being part of our organization, the relationships you build within our local is truly inspiring,  it’s such a family!  To give back to the organization and feel like we are part of something bigger in life is truly moving.
  3. Our athletes are full of heart, love, positivity and determination – they can put a smile on your face if you are having even the worse of days!  To spend time with them being a fan and supporting all their hard work is one of my favorite things to do.

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OR EVENT AS A VOLUNTEER:   The most recent memorable moment was the Diamond Gala, this event was a huge success and everyone that attended truly enjoyed a spectacular night filled with laughter, class, entertainment and FUN!  Another unforgettable moment was helping out at the softball tournament and being called Coach for the first time, it melted my heart and reinforced the reasons why I volunteer and support our amazing local!
