Support Special Olympics: Get Photos

Between media assignments, I am occasionally available to take action photos to raise money for Special Olympics Michigan Area 22 (Saginaw). During these sessions, I exclusively photograph the athletes whose families donate to Special Olympics. These sessions typically yield more pictures than would be possible during a full season of general team coverage.

Donation Details: The donation can be split between a maximum of three athletes per team:

  • $75 per athlete if three athletes are photographed.

  • $105 per athlete if two athletes are photographed.

  • $200 if one athlete is photographed.

    Donation is required before the service is provided. You will receive all of the high-resolution files of your athlete(s) in action and full copyright to the images to use as you see fit.

Sports Covered, Radius, and Scheduling: Sessions are available for the following sports within a 30-mile radius of Saginaw. Inquire below for pricing outside of the region. Game selection is at the photographer's discretion, based on weather and availability. Some sports are not typically offered due to standard start times and/or other limiting factors. The number of images of your athlete will vary depending on the number of players being photographed, playing time, and the nature of the sport itself.

Payment and Donations

  • Full prepayment is required: Families can pay via Venmo (@MikeKolleth) or PayPal (zurichphoto@yahoo.com), and the funds will be donated during a period when Special Olympics Michigan offers a funds “match” for greater impact. Direct donations can be made to Special Olympics Michigan. Your electronic donation receipt from the organization will serve as proof of payment.

  • Teams/players that support Special Olympics during the regular season will receive priority positioning on the playoff coverage list.
