To quote Steve Goodwin, Special Olympics Director, Brunswick County Parks & Recreation, “We had a beautiful day, and you the Knights are beautiful to me! Thanks for your smiles, your dedication, your quick thinking, your support, your dedication to the athletes, and most of all, thank you for giving your time to this cause!”
