DALKO SUPPORTS SPECIAL NEEDS SOAP BOX DERBY

June 24, 2017 marked the 10th year of the SUPER KIDS SOAP BOX DERBY in Sharpsville, PA. The weather was great, the street was newly paved, and the kids were full of smiles. The anniversary race was kicked off by a huge parade. The Super Racers led the over 100 units by being escorted individually by 45 Jeeps. The ZemZem Shriners entertained the parade route with 10 different mobile lodge riders. There were monster trucks, clowns, Sharpsville school groups, elected officials, business floats, and the crowd favorite…The Pittsburgh Pirate Parrott! DALKO Resources, DRI Worldwide, LMR, and Thelma’s Sports Nook all had cars in the race. This is one race that has no losers. Every participant earns medals, trophies, and lots of hugs from the crowd. Everyone is looking forward to next year.


DALKO’S own, Cori Iorio, is ready to go down the hill!

Ready, Set, Go

On Saturday June 25th the annual Super Kids Soap Box Derby Race for special needs children will be held in Sharpsville, PA.  This year DALKO is honored to be a car sponsor for the race. For the race, each child is partnered with an experienced soap box derby driver and they race down the hill against each other in a bracketed format.  Every child participating will receive a gift bag and participation award.  The champion racer will advance to the Annual National Super Kids Soap Box Derby race held in Akron, OH.  Even though it is an official race the organization tries to keep it fun and focus the entire day on providing the children with a memorable experience.  For more information on the organization and their events please visit their website, www.greaterpasuperkids.com.
