Everybody Can Eat More Chicken & Win More Gold

Chick-Fil-A and Special Olympics Virginia joined forces in June as 21 Richmond stores raised awareness and funds for the program. Several locations also welcomed athletes into restaurants and hosted Spirit Nights.

A Community United

This campaign was not just about raising funds; it was about fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion. Families, friends and community members came together to share meals and stories, celebrating the spirit of Special Olympics Virginia. The sight of athletes interacting with Chick-Fil-A team members and customers alike exemplified the “Everybody Can” motto from this year's Summer Games.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We extend our deepest gratitude to the local Chick-Fil-A stores and their incredible teams for their unwavering support and dedication. Their commitment to creating a welcoming environment made this campaign a resounding success. Special thanks to the staff at Short Pump Crossing, 288 at West Broad Street, and Tuckernuck Plaza for their hospitality and enthusiasm.

Continuing the Partnership

This campaign marks another milestone in the ongoing partnership between Chick-Fil-A and Special Olympics Virginia. Together, we are making a significant impact, not just through fundraising, but by fostering a community where everyone is valued and included. We look forward to more collaborative efforts in the future, knowing that together, we can achieve great things.
