Special Olympics Spring Games at Lake Zurich High School

On April 30, 2011 , nearly 700 athletes, volunteers and coaches will participate in the first Area 13 Spring games at Lake Zurich High School. Our athletes, volunteers and coaches will have a full day of competition and will need fuel to keep them going!

The community has embraced this event and here is your chance to be involved as well. We are soliciting local businesses for food items (bagels, protein and snack bars, doughnuts, water or gatorade) for our volunteers and family hospitality area. 

Please contact Susan Foege or Annie Carroll at 847-478-0935 or by email at sfoege@soill.org, acarroll@soill.org.

Thank you in advance for your support. Opening ceremonies will begin promptly at 9am. The police department from Lake Zurich and surrounding communites will be participating with a few athletes in a torch run that will culminate with lighting of the Olympic Flame that will signify the begining of the games. 

You won't want to miss the Opening ceremony, it is something you will never forget! Open and free to the public, please come out and cheer on the atheletes and enjoy a most extrodinary day of celebration and competition.
