“In Honor of” Recognition or
Memorial Gifts
Do you know an athlete, a SOKS volunteer, an athlete’s parent who
would appreciate you making a gift to SOKS? Perhaps in
recognition of a milestone in their life…graduation, anniversary,
birthday…or other special occasion? All you need to do is send the name and address of
the person that you are making the gift in recognition of with your
donation and SOKS will send a note to the honoree acknowledging your
gift. SOKS will also provide envelopes for memorial
services. Please contact, Betty Werner at (913) 236-9290. Making a gift in honor of, or in memory of your loved
one is a simple act that will mean so much to so many.

Wills and Bequests
Just a few words in your will can go a long way towards fulfilling Special Olympics Kansas' vision of caring for the future life of this
organization. Please consider including this sentence in your will:
" I give, devise and bequeath to SOKS the sum of ____________
dollars." Doing this will help us continue our commitment to provide quality programs for SOKS' athletes.
Life Insurance
While most people own some form of life insurance because of its
unique ability to meet a variety of needs for financial protection,
its role in planned charitable giving is frequently overlooked. Life
insurance itself can be the direct funding medium of a gift,
permitting the donor to make a substantial gift for a relatively
modest annual outlay. Planning pointer: Insurance can also replace the
value of an asset given to a charitable organization.
Gifts of Stock
Special Olympics Kansas gratefully accepts gifts of stock, and you can
receive significant tax benefits when you give appreciated stocks
and bonds. With a gift of stock, you can take a tax deduction for
the full fair market value of the stock. In addition to a charitable
gift tax deduction, a gift stock offers the extra benefit of
avoiding capital gains tax on your stocks' appreciation.
Technology Recycling
Special Olympics Kansas also accepts used technology equipment and
recycles it. Possible items we take:
• Cell Phones
• Computer monitors
• DVD/VHS players
• CD players...... and much more
To make a donation of this kind please drop off or
mail any used items to our State Office:
Special Olympics Kansas
5280 Foxridge Drive
Mission, KS 66202
