The North Canton Jaycees/Stark County DD Special Olympics Invitational track meet will take place Saturday, May 26, at North Canton Memorial Stadium. This year’s event will feature more than 150 athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities from Stark and surrounding counties. The North Canton Jaycees have been hosting this track-and-field event since 1969. Throughout the day, athletes will have the chance to participate in various track-and-field competitions.

Join us as a volunteer! Members of the public are invited to volunteer. Here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050a48ada92aa64-north1 Volunteers should be available starting at 8 a.m. through the entire event (until about 2:30 p.m.). However, if you’re not available all day, contact program chair Mike Sturdivant with your availability at mikesturdi@gmail.com. This is the perfect chance to involve your group or business in a worthwhile community event that directly impacts others.

The mission of The North Canton Jaycees/Stark DD Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sporting events for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Invitational provides them with continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in sharing their gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other athletes and the community.

Mission Statement

In an environment that fosters true friendship, the North Canton Jaycees offer the best opportunities for personal development and community service to men and women 18 to 41 years of age. The North Canton Jaycees give individuals the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. We are young adults who want to make a positive difference in our community. Much of the leadership training is accomplished through planning and participating in community service and fund-raising activities. Other leadership skills are learned by teaching skills to newer members, and serving as an officer on the Executive Board. The North Canton Jaycees are affiliated with the Ohio Jaycees, United States Junior Chamber, and Junior Chamber International.
