Pictured above is WRVA, Richmond afternoon drive personality Jeff Katz (left) showing off his new Special Olympics of Virginia tattoo. Katz has been involved with Special Olympics for 20 years and during the most recent fundraising drive, he teamed up with Chesterfield County Sheriff Karl Leonard (right) and they promised to get matching Special Olympics of Virginia logo tattoos if they were able to raise $15,000. Needless to say, they raised the money, and they got the ink. At center is Mike Ivey, owner of Journey’s End Tattoo Studio in Powhatan, Virginia who donated his services.

Audacy Debuts “Agents of Inclusion” Special Olympics Podcast

Audacy is partnering with Special Olympics and JRSportBrief Productions to launch the new program, “Agents of Inclusion: A Special Olympics Podcast.” The show, hosted by CBS Sports Radio host JR Jackson, highlights Special Olympics athletes’ stories and accomplishments to encourage listeners towards inclusion and action. Aimed to raise awareness and share stories of inspiration, the partnership will also extend to grassroots action as Audacy will connect with Special Olympics programs across the country to support, volunteer, and get involved with programmed events. Jackson says, “I’ve taken my CBS Sports Radio show on the road the past two years with Special Olympics to promote diversity and inclusion. With the Media for the Movement Tour, we’ve popped up at more than 50 college campuses and professional sports teams to support this message. I’m thrilled to bring together Audacy and Special Olympics for programming that will encourage and inspire on a broadened level.”
