A community fundraiser is planned in Lexington to raise money for Special Olympics Kentucky’s basketball team uniform needs, according to WKYT.

The event will be a lemonade and popsicle stand scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 353 Albany Road in Lexington.

WKYT reported that the fundraiser will accept public support during the afternoon hours, with the money collected intended to help cover uniform-related costs for the Special Olympics Kentucky basketball team.

Special Olympics Kentucky offers sports opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities, and uniform support can help ensure teams are equipped for practices and competitions, organizers said in connection with the fundraiser.

  • Uniform support can reduce barriers for athletes and help teams prepare for organized sports activities.
  • The fundraiser provides a direct, community-based way to support Special Olympics Kentucky athletes at the team level.
