Area 6 would like to congratulate Mr. Richard Koch on receiving the UPS’s 2009 Jim Casey Community Service Award. Mr. Koch, director of accounting operations at UPS Freight, was chosen among 425,000 employees. The award is the highest community service honor given by UPS and a global recognition of Mr. Koch’s dedication to Special Olympics.
Mr. Koch joined the Area 6 family in 1996 when he moved to Chesterfield County with his wife, Karin, daughter, Michelle, and their special-needs son, Jonathan. Mr. Koch is now the Tournament Director for Area 6 competitions. Mrs. Koch is Chesterfield County’s local coordinator. Michelle is a partner in several Unified sports. Jonathan, now 29, is a roll-model for newer athletes in our programs.
The UPS Foundation also announced it was donating $10,000 to SOVA Area 6. Thank you, UPS, for you generous support!
Thank you to the Koch family for your dedication to Area 6!
