Toyota the New Special Texas Olympics Partner

Texas Special Olympics (SOTX) declared Toyota as the newest partner in the Olympics. This makes the automaker a year-round statewide $250,000-level co-sponsor. SOTX supports training and other sports competitions all year round for the people, precisely 55,200 children and adults who have intellectual disabilities in the state of Texas. The organization is non-profit.

Toyota and Special Olympics have a long history behind them. Toyota has supported Special Olympics in many communities across the U.S., being one of the considerable supporters in Southern California for the last 30 years.

In 2015 Toyota was one of the official automotive sponsors in Los Angeles for the World Games, giving 400 Toyota vehicles to be used and approximately more than 600 employees to volunteer.

To celebrate the partnership, the two organizations have created a “Let’s Go Places Together” opportunity drawing. One lucky person will win a fully loaded 2017 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition. This is a full-size pickup truck built only in San Antonio Texas (TMMTX).

Tickets for betting will be available at www.sotx.org/toyota. The lucky ticket will be drawn during SOTX’s at the annual “Very Special Celebration” in Austin at 9.p.m. on 2nd Dec, 2016.

To enter this competition you don’t have to live in Texas. You can buy as many tickets or packs as you want if you are 21 years or older, U.S. citizen, having a valid driver’s license.

Tickets are limited and packages start from $25 till $250 for 10 tickets. The sales will close upon the sale of $250.000 worth of tickets, or till 7:00 pm 2nd December, 2016, depending what happens first.

With this, Toyota became SOTX’s seventh Official Partner and Statewide Co-Sponsor, together with Coca-Cola FoodTown, Law Enforcement Torch Run, H-E-B Tournament of Champions, Walmart and UnitedHealthcare.
