Grathwohl 2025 Wertz Warriors Fundraiser

We are once again proud and privileged this year to participate in raising money for Special Olympics Michigan. This year is extra special for us as this is the first year after we joined Leo Ottersen to our family. Leo was born with Down Syndrome in July and after 3 months at UofM Children's Hospital, he is home, healthy, and happy!

Nathan will also be joining us for his rookie year!

The Wertz Warriors embark annually on a seven-day Snowmobile Endurance Ride to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Michigan. In February, we will begin the journey at over 35 locations along the 900-mile route, raising additional funds along the way for the Special Olympics Michigan State Winter Games.

The Wertz Warriors will be celebrating our 44th Anniversary in 2025. We have collectively traveled over 1.5 million miles and have raised over 13 million dollars, supporting Special Olympics-MI Winter Games. As always, we rely on the generosity of my friends and family to reach my fundraising goals. We hope that once again we can count on your support.

Contributions can be made by sending a check to Wertz Warriors (tax exempt number is 81-4663709), and mailing it to 3855 Oakland Drive, Bloomfield Hills, Mi 48301 or through GoFundMe.

Thank you once again for your past support and may 2025 bring peace, happiness and success to you and your loved ones.
