If you notice a Special Olympics Northern California athlete holding open the back door of a Flyers Energy truck on the road this summer… don’t be worried!
Special Olympics NorCal has partnered with Flyers Energy for a unique promotion to showcase Special Olympics and the “Do Something Special” campaign on six of Flyers Energy’s box trucks.
“We enjoy being an annual partner for Special Olympics Northern California and the ‘Do Something Special’ campaign really touched a lot of us at Flyers,” said Mike Teske, Director of Engineering Operations and Technology at Flyers Energy. “It was something that we wanted to be a part of in a bigger way. So we decided to go ahead and add some branding to the back of our trucks in order to showcase that. We’re really excited about it.”
Sharing in that excitement was Special Olympics NorCal Athlete Leader Jeff, who is pictured on the back of the truck. Jeff had the opportunity to visit the Flyers warehouse and see his personalized truck, take some photos with employees, interview Mike for The Special Report and even take a quick ride in the truck.
“It was cool. It was fun to be with Flyers and see my truck,” said Jeff.
The promotion is a part of Flyers Energy’s 29-year partnership with Special Olympics Northern California that has included numerous fundraisers, employee volunteer opportunities, and even the annual Polar Plunge.
“Special Olympics, for Flyers, has been a huge part of the business,” said Mike. “It’s something our employees really get behind. They enjoy volunteering and interacting with the athletes. It’s a lot of fun.”
