about kara brenda schatz and the gilbert roadrunners

  Kara was with our Special Olympic team from the time it began.  She volunteered to be wherever she was needed.  She was with us for the good times and the challenging times!

 Her joy was working with our athletes.  Her love for them was so obvious, and they loved her back.  No one got away without a hug or a hello from Coach Kara.  She was strong when she needed to be and loving when that was needed also.  

   She was our mother hen at competitions, keeping track of where everyone was, and getting them where they needed to be.  She cared for our athletes as though they were her own.
