2012 N. E. Lovin’ Compassion
Award Winner!
Gavin is an asset to Special Olympics team, Emma's Happy Rebels, with his compassionate attitude and commitment to the athletes. Gavin has played his school sports and in turn teaches the athletes the knowledge and skills he has learned. Gavin advocates for the athletes by speaking up when others bully or call out names. Gavin has stood strong when he explains to bullies that they need to move on. Gavin has been participating in Special Olympics since he was 8 yrs of age. He has stated that he will always continue supporting Special Olympics. "I love being with them, they make my heart feel good." His smiles warm everyone's heart, he's contagious with his upbeat attitude and positive energy. Gavin will work individually with an athlete who is struggling and shows how to have fun and be safe. He is one of the sparks in the engine for Emma's Happy Rebels success! Gavin has also competed in and taken home medals with Unified Sports.
