The Motor Dealers' Association of Alberta (MDA) continue to be incredible supporters of Special Olympics athletes across the province and once again they are stepping up to the plate to help support Team Alberta and their journey to Nationals.

The MDA is backing the mantra that the strength of the wolf is the pack and have graciously donated $15,000 to support all 15 Team Alberta Warriors floor hockey team members from Wetaskiwin and Grande Prairie.

"We are extremely excited to once again be supporting Special Olympics Team Alberta as they prepare for the National Games in Thunder Bay," said Denis Ducharme, Motor Dealers' Association of Alberta President. "The team has been working incredibly hard and we are proud to support the Wolfpack throughout their training all the way to the podium."

"We are thrilled to have one of our founding partners engage in supporting our athletes. It is fitting having the MDA as a foundational supporter of our Team Alberta" said Johnny Byrne, Special Olympics Alberta CEO.
