The annual St. Ann Special Athletes Fun Day will be at Christian Brothers High School (5900 Walnut Grove Road). Approximately 125 special athletes will participate in a day filled with smiles, cheers and hugs.
This is a day of fun and fellowship for special children and adults of the Memphis area. Ranging in age from six years old to adults, these special people will compete in a number of track and field events, including the 25-meter dash, softball throw, soccer kick, Frisbee throw, and bean toss, as well as events for wheelchair participants. Registration and check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. and opening ceremonies will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Athletes from every school and church throughout the Memphis area have been invited to participate and every athlete will receive ribbons in each event they participate in. Cheerleaders from area schools will also be there to cheer special athletes as they receive their participation ribbons.
The St. Ann Special Athletes Fun Day began 28 years ago as a ministry of St. Ann Church in Bartlett for physically and mentally handicapped citizens. Volunteers from St. Ann Church and School, Christian Brothers High School, and the Knights of Columbus Council 7170, among other organizations, will be on hand to help. Those individuals or groups who would like to volunteer to help should call Nancy Gronostaj at (901) 388.8623
