Meet Lisa—Cobequid Special Olympics athlete, proud Lawtons Drugs employee, and one of the faces of this year’s campaign in Nova Scotia. 💪

Lisa’s Personal Best: “I’m building stronger connections.” Through Special Olympics, Lisa has found community, confidence, and meaningful relationships that continue to grow both on and off the field of play.

Thank you, Lisa, for showing what’s possible when inclusion is part of the workplace — and carried into every part of the community beyond it.❤

There’s still time to follow Lisa’s lead. Say “YES” to making a donation at checkout at participating Empire Family of Brands stores including Sobeys, Needs Convenience and Foodland & Co-ops before June 21, and your gift will help create more opportunities for Special Olympics athletes across Canada.
