ORLANDO – The only smile that could rival that of Special Olympics athlete Michael Wilkie’s on Tuesday at the Amway Center was one the splashed across the face of Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon.
After concluding his preparation for the Magic’s game against the Sacramento Kings later on Tuesday night, Gordon was presented with a framed medal from the Special Olympics of Florida for his years of support with the group for years.
Special Olympics athletes Swimmers Alex Cooper, Nicole Hogan, Joe Burgan and Wilkie were on hand at the Amway Center on Tuesday for the presentation to Gordon, who has worked as a presenter at the organization’s awards gala the last two years.
