Auto Show Gala to benefit Special Olympics February 22

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Wisconsin athletes will benefit from the Milwaukee Auto Show's annual gala.

Every year, a charity is chosen and for the second year in a row, organizers picked Special Olympics of Wisconsin.

10,000 Wisconsin athletes participate in Special Olympics including a married couple from Greenfield who competed in the USA Games in Seattle this past summer.

"Becoming a Special Olympics athlete has been one of the best decisions in my life. It's a movement that's touched the lives of millions of people in its 50 years and I hope it goes on to touch the lives of millions more," said Jonathan Frank, Special Olympic athlete. 

The Auto Show Gala is February 22.

The shows runs from February 23 through March 3.
