Приєднався 10 вер 2008
Special Olympics New Jersey is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to provide sports training and athletic competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, completely free of charge. All programs are free to eligible athletes, including insurance, facilities, equipment, uniforms, housing and meals. In addition to programs offered on the local, county, sectional and state levels, Special Olympics New Jersey offers athletes free participation in all activities at our Sports Complex in Lawrenceville.
Meet Colin Tobin | Faces of SONJ
Colin is a Special Olympics New Jersey athlete who competes in soccer, basketball, and track and field and has recently been participating with the Unified program at Brick Memorial High School.
When Colin was born, his diagnosis of Down Syndrome was not something Chris and Kelli were prepared for. Their experiences with people with intellectual disabilities were very limited, and coupled with the bleak list of things given to them in the hospital that Colin would supposedly not be able to do, they felt overwhelmed. But Chris and Kelli have always been a team and they knew that day we were going to do our best TOGETHER for Colin.
CAT Crew’s very 1st polar bear plunge was filled with family and friends and acquaintances who were there to support us and helped raise over $34,000! In 2024 they completed their 15th plunge as a team. To date, they have raised over $625,000 in support of the athletes of SONJ.
Their family has made very special lifelong connections and friends with athletes, partners, coaches, members of the law enforcement community, SONJ staff, volunteers, and those who continue to support SONJ in other ways. Many opportunities have been provided to Colin because of your fundraising efforts.

The 2023 Polar Bear Plunge at Seaside Heights
Love Colin he's the basketball teammate I couldn't ask for I love being at practice with him and laughing with each other love him ❤️
I am so grateful that a friend told me about this video. It is so tender that it would benefit a broader audience. What a precious girl and extraordinary family. The father, John, is the prototype for a loving father. It is heart-warming to see the tenderness with which he approached Maria. Having lost a child, I am aware of the unimaginable pain they are experiencing. God bless Maria, a bright ray of light. No doubt she is watching with adoration from behind the thin veil that separates her now from her loving family.

this lady is talented with art, i think shed make a great comic book artist / graphic novel artist...she is also quite well spoken, but she needs some mentorship because she is very full of herself and that is very off-putting. people dont want to be around someone who is egocentric,self-centered and such as that. disabled or not, those are never endearing or attractive traits to have . having good self esteem and confidence is one thing, but this is not a healthy mindset. i mean come on, she said in another video that she feels she should be the 9th wonder ! smh

That’s an awful thing to say. She’s not full of herself. She was joking when she said she should be the 9th wonder of the world and that she can do everything except bungee jumping. Some people with neurodevelopmental conditions speak in a monotone, so it’s not always obvious from intonation alone when they’re being sarcastic.
My heart breaks for you she truly is an Angel you are all in my prayers God bless you all
