We are grateful to our longtime friends and partne We are grateful to our longtime friends and partners at @Boeing —especially Gina Breukelman and Leah S. Hausman, for making Special Olympics Washington part of the 2025 Boeing Community Corner at Seahawks Training Camp during our 50th anniversary year. Thank you, Gina and Leah! A big shout-out to our incredible Community Engagement Team - Nia Lowery and Kyle Dougherty for taking such great care of our group on July 31. The Seahawks are lucky to have both Nia and Kyle in their roles! We were also honored by a visit from our amazing Board Member, Karen Wilkins-Mickey, Seattle @Seahawks VP for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, whose leadership and dedication to our organization we deeply admire. Thirty athletes and their circle of care from across Western Washington joined us for a stellar day, complete with autographs and photos with Seahawks players as Camp wrapped up. #InclusionInAction #SeahawksTrainingCamp #SOWA50
