The interior of the Special Olympics wedding/special occasion favor card reads: "On this special occasion, a generous donation has been made to Special Olympics in your honor." [Photo by Chris Bazel] Favors for wedding guests, or those invited to any special occasion celebration, are commonplace. Instead of the usual — a tulle bag filled with candy-covered almonds, picture frames, candles, custom chocolate candies, etc. — please consider an "in lieu of" gift to Special Olympics. In return for your contribution, Special Olympics will provide beautiful folded cards to place at each table setting. Each 3½-inch by 2-inch placecard is elegantly embossed with the Special Olympics logo and inset bevel, on cream-colored heavyweight felt-finish paper. The inside message is printed in black ink with a classic invitation style font and reads, "On this special occasion, a generous donation has been made to Special Olympics in your honor." The Special Olympics mission statement is printed on the back of the card. These cards commemorating your charitable donation are perfect for: weddings commitment ceremonies anniversaries (both personal and corporate) birthdays bar mitzvahs bat mitzvahs confirmations  retirement celebrations christenings or baby-naming ceremonies any other special occasion! If you are interested in "doing a favor for Special Olympics" please contact Steven Scott, Special Olympics Donor Services Coordinator, at +1 (202) 824-0373 or e-mail him at sscott@specialolympics.org.
