If you’ve ever watched “Glee,” you are probably familiar with the very popular Cheerio, Becky Jackson, played by Lauren Potter.
Langley has the chance to win a visit from Potter through the Best Buddies Club.
Best Buddies, an international organization that advocates for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is sponsoring a contest called “Audi Best Buddies Challenge.” The Best Buddies chapter in Virginia that raises the most money will get a thank you visit from Potter on Oct. 18.
Just like her character Becky, Potter has Down Syndrome. She is a member of the board of Best Buddies and is an award-winning disability rights advocate.
More than $1,700 has been raised already, thanks to the efforts of the Langley Best Buddies Club, but a lot more money is still needed to bring Potter to Langley.
To donate, register at www.bestbuddieschallenge.org/va. Checks can be made out to Best Buddies and dropped off in the mailboxes of Jen Linicome or Ellen Witherow.
