Shining stars of York County

On April 28 we held our annual Special Olympics York County Spring Games at York Suburban. More than 100 athletes competed in aquatics and athletics (track and field), which are two of our 13 sports that train and compete in York County. It was a beautiful day, filled with lots of smiles, joy, laughter, enthusiasm, sharing, and good sportsmanship.

The Management Team and Sports Directors would like to thank everyone who participated in the event; sponsors who made sure we had enough funds to offer the event, York Suburban for the gracious use of their facility including their concession stand, Porky's Place BBQ, Turkey Hill, Stauffers and Lay's who fed athletes and volunteers, guest speaker Knowledge Timmons, the event committee persons who worked extremely hard the last several months to get it all ready, the spectators who cheered the athletes through their competition events, the buddies who accompanied the athletes and made their day extra special, and most of all, the athletes themselves.

We are so proud of each of you. You are our shining stars!
