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.

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.
