Marty Drake, Polk County Special Olympics Go-Getters Representative, and his sweet sidekick, Sully Drake, recently inspired the Livingston Lions Club with stories of the Polk County Go-Getters and Drake’s personal journey as a member of the organization. Drake not only shared exciting updates about the Special Olympics basketball tournament but also captivated the club with his personal involvement and inspiring journey within the organization. Drake coached the Polk County Go Getters for 14 years before Sully joined their family. Each year, Livingston hosts the Region 6 basketball tournament where the oldest player is 72 and Sully is the youngest player on the team at seven years old.
