Alberta’s Special Olympics athletes need You…and your commercial vehicle
-Lonnie Croal, Truck Convoy for Special Olympics Planning Committee
Truck Convoy for Special Olympics is a celebration of the transportation industry and its support for Special Olympics.
What started as a local event in Florida in 2001, has evolved into an international event spanning across five provinces and more than 40 US states each year.
The Truck Convoy for Special Olympics Alberta is held every fall in Calgary in partnership with the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA). This year’s event is being held at Rosenau Transport on September 22nd, 2018.
What is the Truck Convoy?
The Truck Convoy for Special Olympics Alberta began in 2004 and has been going strong ever since! Last year we had over 75 transport vehicles and over 10 corporate sponsors.
How does the Truck Convoy Raise Money?
Convoy participants pay a $100 registration fee to join the convoy as well as individually fundraising for their chance to earn prizes and awards. The Convoy solicits corporate sponsors and engages community partners to contribute financially to this great fundraising event for a cause!
Where does the money go?
100 per cent of the funds will directly benefit Special Olympics Athletes in Alberta and Calgary at the local level.
Lead Truck
Imagine leading a Convoy on some of the busiest roadways of southern Alberta. Don’t just join our convoy, lead it! The honour of leading the Convoy will go to the driver or company that has the highest bid. The auction will open on our website in August and will close by September 6th. This is a great way to show your support for the Special Olympics, as well as create exposure for your truck and company. With the help of your community, you can stand at the forefront of the transport industry’s support of the Special Olympics.
