Joe Jonas Honors Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Joe Jonas quickly signs an autograph on his way to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday afternoon (January 27).

The 20-year-old musician will be lending a hand to Special Olympics and Best Buddies, urging Members of Congress to authorize The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act, which will continue a national commitment by the U.S. Congress made with passage of the 2004 Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act.

This new legislation continues the legacy of Mrs. Shriver by authorizing funds for specific programs supporting persons with IDDs in health, education and global program initiatives.
