The Coca-Cola Sun Games, benefiting Special Olympics Arizona, will be held on Monday, February 6, 2023. The Sun Games will be a Unified competition that pairs individuals with and without intellectual disabilities to compete together on the same team at 7 football themed stations. Each of the 28 teams will consist of 1 Special Olympics Arizona athlete, 1 special guest/community member, and 2 participants from a sponsor organization.
The event gives individuals the opportunity to have an interactive experience with Special Olympics Arizona athletes in a fun, safe, and competitive environment. The benefits of the Sun Games are endless for both the Special Olympic Arizona athlete and their teammates without a disability. It allows Special Olympic athletes to gain higher-level sports skills while experiencing meaningful inclusion by playing a valued role on a team. This event changes people's attitudes about people with disabilities and fosters lasting friendships.
Volunteers are needed in multiple roles to help ensure the event runs smoothly. Visit https://soaz.givepulse.com/event/341052 to learn more!
