Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel held their 5th annual Olympic donation event, and the store and its customers collectively raised $4,325 for Special Olympics Vermont and $675 for Special Olympics New York. Lenny’s co-owner Mark McCarthy presented that donation to Lisa DeNatale, President & CEO of Special Olympics Vermont.
