Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano’s offices will be collecting donations throughout April for its charity of the month: Special Olympics of Pasco County.
Special Olympics is a sports and training program for people with intellectual disabilities, and provides year-round training and competition in 17 different sports. There is no cost for athletes to participate.
“We are very excited to once again be selected as the Charity of the Month for April,” said Joeyn Dearsman, senior manager Pasco, in a news release.
“Mike Fasano and his team have been big supporters of Special Olympics of Pasco for many years and we are grateful for everything they do for our athletes. With the help from our community during this campaign, we will be able to provide athletic training, equipment and uniforms for our athletes,” Dearsman said.
“The Pasco County branch of this excellent program has a long history of success in not only the state of Florida but at the national level as well. The opportunities provided to people with intellectual challenges have proven to help enrich the lives of the athletes in a great way,” said Mike Fasano in the release.
All five locations of the tax collector’s office will participate – they can be found online at PascoTaxes.com.
