Heroes Pull 2k25- Special Olympics Featured Athlete- Richard Klaus

Meet Richard!

Richard Klaus is a 3rd year Special Olympics athlete through COF Services, but competed many years prior to joining COF.  He currently participates in the basketball, track and field, and bowling events and has also competed in the Chad W Oehme Memorial Fishing Tournament. His favorite event is basketball. 

According to Richard, the best part of Special Olympics is getting to play basketball, and winning all of the medals!
