Aaron Wins Special Olympic Gold

NRI Employee Highlight

In addition to sponsoring and volunteering at the 2023 BC Special Olympics, NRI had the privilege of cheering on our very own, Aaron Lansdown-Sorenson where he took home the gold in bowling!

The Special Olympics Bowling Event helped kick off the 2023 games, which ran February 2 – 4 in Aaron’s hometown of Kamloops. He earned first high individual with a 231 score and his team placed an impressive fourth overall.

“I had so much fun seeing my friends and getting to compete with my team.” – Aaron Lansdown-Sorenson

Aaron has been playing basketball, softball, and bowling for over 22 years and couldn’t have debuted his Olympic career a better way!

“We here at NRI Kamloops are so proud of Aaron; for winning a gold medal in bowling this year at the BC Special Olympics. Aaron is the epitome of a great athlete. He competes not to win but to meet other people from around BC. Winning is just a bonus. Keep smiling Aaron!” – Sherry Makarra, Operations Supervisor

Aaron has worked out of our KF distribution center since 2012 as a warehouse helper. We are so happy to have Aaron at #TeamNRI and can’t wait to root for him in future sporting endeavors! Click here to read more about NRI’s Special Olympic involvement.
