Carlos Foundation 1 2016 State Summer Games WELCOME TO 2016 STATE SUMMER GAMES May 20, 2016 Welcome to State Summer Games! On behalf of the Special Olympics Georgia family, thank you for joining us at Opening Ceremony. Tonight, we celebrate the hard work, dedication and good sportsmanship of nearly 2,800 Special Olympics Georgia athletes, coaches and unified partners. We hope that you become inspired as you watch the Flame of Hope make its way through the hands of law enforcement officers and Special Olympics Georgia athletes. We are confident that you will feel excitement and admiration throughout the weekend as you cheer on athletes in aquatics, athletics, flag football, gymnastics, soccer, table tennis, tennis and volleyball. When you witness the decoration of athletes with bronze, silver and gold medals, along with ribbons, and see the smiling athletes exude confidence from a game well-played, we hope you are reminded that this weekend celebrates all athletes for their efforts, determination, teamwork and bravery. This weekend also brings about an opportunity for athletes with and without disabilities to be united and accepted on the same playing field. As you join us this weekend, please share your experiences with your family and friends. Do not hesitate to capture the 2016 State Summer Games with your cameras and smart phones. Please share those moments on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using the official Special Olympics Georgia hashtag: #SOGASummerGames. Volunteers, we would like to thank you for all of your efforts to carry out the responsibilities to make this weekend a success. We must also recognize the Summer Games Organizing Committee members who have dedicated so much time over the last few months to provide a great experience for all. Finally, we would like to thank all of our sponsors, individuals and foundations, whose support has made the 2016 State Summer Games possible, and Emory University for their tremendous support and lasting partnership with the Special Olympics Georgia family. Athletes, we wish you the best of luck and encourage you to do your best. We’re cheering for you!
