Partnering with Special Olympics South Dakota in Sioux Falls
Last month in Sioux Falls, a group within the Special Olympics of South Dakota reached out requesting a donation of bulldog plush toys for their annual event. We were thrilled to send a shipment of our 10″ gray plush bulldogs so each athlete could take home a meaningful keepsake for competing.
Our friend Serge van Neck, a professional photographer based in Sioux Falls, generously donated his time and talent to capture the joy and spirit of the day—thank you, Serge!

One of the organizers, Haley Zerr, shared this touching feedback:
“One of our athletes hasn’t stopped carrying his Bulldog since the day he got it! His mom has been texting me nonstop about how much it means to him. It brings him so much joy, and he’s constantly telling us how proud he is to be part of our team.”
The event was filled with smiles, laughter, and heartfelt moments—many of which Serge beautifully documented. Below are a few of the highlights from his lens:
