The 29th annual St. Ann Special Athletes Fun Day will return to Christian Brothers High School (5900 Walnut Grove Road) on Saturday, September 18th. Historically special athletes from throughout the Memphis area will participate in a day filled with smiles, cheers and hugs.
Athletes from every school, church and care organization throughout the Memphis area are invited to participate in this much-loved annual event. It provides fun and fellowship for special children and adults ages 6 and up. These special people can 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 designed just for wheelchair participants.
Athlete check-in and day of event registrations will begin at 8:00 a.m., and opening ceremonies will begin at 9:00 a.m.
We encourage all special athletes to pre-register in advance using the online form below.
The St. Ann Special Athletes Fun Day began nearly three decades ago as a ministry of St. Ann Church in Bartlett. Volunteers from the church and school, Christian Brothers High School, and the Knights of Columbus Council 7170, and several other organizations, will be on hand to assist mentally and physically handicapped citizens who wish to participate.
