GRAYLING- The Grayling Knights of Columbus sponsored the annual Special Olympics races held during the AuSable River Canoe Marathon the last weekend of July. In the event, Olympians are paired with a professional racer, who also volunteer for the event.
The Knights donated a luncheon for the Olympians and their families. Shirts were donated by Mark and Tracy Constance from Up North Voice. Medals for the paddlers and Olympians were donated by Brody Robison from Sylvesters.
