Ricky’s Ride was established back in 2007 in honor of Ricky Schmidt, a long time participant of the SSSRA. Ricky continues to participate in weekly programs and special events, and Special Olympics Bocce is his favorite activity. Ricky’s family and friends gathered together to organize a motorcycle run to raise money for SSSRA programs, special events, and our scholarship fund. Their efforts have raised over $215,000 for our families. Thank you to Bob Schmidt, Sean Fallon, Jamie Wallace, Gina Strait Crusius, and many others for your continued support.
Thank you to Old Plank Trail Community Bank (OPTCB) for their continued support of South Suburban Special Recreation Association (SSSRA) and individuals with disabilities. OPTCB has sponsored our Family Banquet gifts for many years and have been long time supporters of our fundraiser Golf Outing. OPTCB recently sponsored activity backpacks filled with a variety of items to keep participants engaged during the pandemic.
SSSRA appreciates their ongoing support of sponsorship and/or attending our family events.
