Dear SUSC Tournament organizers,
On behalf of Special Olympics Saskatchewan Saskatoon and the Saskatoon Fire soccer club I would like to thank you deeply for having our soccer club and athletes in your tournament. Events like these are a huge highlight in these athletes lives.

Many of our athletes live in a well cared for and sponsored environment and just as many live in poor surroundings and get very little in the way of outings etc. I think the fact that many of the athletes were there at the soccer centre 2 and a half hours prior to kick-off shows how important this event is in their lives. This also gives us a chance to show the rest of Saskatoon the sporting lives of special needs athletes.

The SUSC Tournament is an first class tournament and we feel that having our athletes in attendance is a real nice gesture. The athletes came to the tournament with excitement in their hearts and left with huge smiles on their faces.

Once again thank you and congratulations on a successful tournament.

Sincerely,
Gord Quinlan (President) -- Saskatoon Special Olympics
