      The Way We Make A Difference in San Jose, CA



Thanks to the incredible generosity of Clay's fans, 10 tickets to Clay's concert were donated to Special Olympics Silicon Valley. Each of the athletes also received a souvenir copy of Clay's CD Merry Christmas With Love, also donated by his fans.


We received the following from Special Olympics Northern California....

I wanted to thank you so much for the opportunity for our Special Olympics Northern California athletes to attend the Clay Aiken Christmas Concert on November 27th, 2004 in San Jose, CA. They had a wonderful time. It was a perfect way to celebrate the holidays. The seats were outstanding, and one of the ticket donors even brought everyone Clay Aiken CD's!

I can't express enough how much this meant to the athletes. For one athlete, it was her very first concert at the age of forty-eight! Your organization is providing such a valuable service to individuals with disabilities. With over 2,000 Special Olympics athletes with developmental disabilities in the San Jose area, there are many more individuals who would enjoy future concert and theatre opportunities. If you would keep us in mind in the future we would be so grateful. Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Liz

It's important that I make a difference in some way.  It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do. -- Clay Aiken
