The Steve Wurzell Memorial Foundation was launched in 1999 to assist in fully funding Sonoma County Special Olympics. It is named after special athlete, Stevie Wurzell, seen above, who passed away in 1981. Stevie loved to compete and hang out with his Special O buddies. Our first event, the Steve Wurzell Memorial Corporate Tennis Challenge hosted 12 tennis teams in a corporate challenge format at Wikiup Racquet and Swim Club. The following reception brought together 80 of Sonoma County's top business executives. In the years to come, our founding sponsors would become passionate in the cause. In a testament to the local business community's desire to support Special Olympics, we would add a luau, attracting over 650 people at Rodney Strong Vineyards, and netting close to $300,000 over a 12 year period for local Special Olympics programs. In 2013, joined by our committed partner Cardinal Newman High School, we teamed up to create Cowbells & Lederhosen: A Bavarian Oktoberfest. Our goal is to make sure Sonoma County Special Olympics continues to thrive. We want you to meet our very special athletes. They WILL inspire you with their energy, enthusiasm and willingness to bring their best to all they do!
