Milford Special Olympic Athletes Bowl With NE Revolution Players

MILFORD, MA — Two Milford Special Olympic athletes spent a night hanging out and bowling with the New England Revolution soccer team. John Young and Olivia Marshfield spent last Wednesday bowling at the fifth annual "Bowl for a Goal" event to support Special Olympics Massachusetts.

The Milford pair were joined by their Special Olympics teammates and, of course, the Revs players for a memorable night. It was a full night of entertainment, trivia, photos and autographs. All profits from the evening, including ticket sales as well as the evening’s silent auction and raffle, benefited Special Olympics Massachusetts.

In the five years of the event they have raised over $300,000 through Bowl for a Goal. The relationship with the organization extends well beyond the annual fundraising event. The two organizations have once again teamed up for a full summer of events aimed to promote an environment of inclusivity and friendly competition through the power of sports.
