On September 24, 2011, athletes all over the world will celebrate one woman’s legacy by remembering Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of Special Olympics. This year’s slogan is “Play Unified to Live Unified” with the goal to support and promote Unified activities in schools and communities by encouraging others to join Unified Sports teams and creating opportunities for inclusion.
Governor Mary Fallin has signed a proclamation naming September 24, 2011 as “Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day” in Oklahoma. Special Olympics Oklahoma Grand Area and Boomer Sooner Area will recognize EKS Day at their Area Bowling Events on that day.
