That’s about 2,500 Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) athletes and coaches from across the state are here this weekend to compete in basketball, three-on-three basketball, ice skating, basketball skills, gymnastics, floor hockey, bowling, roller skating and powerlifting. Let’s cheer on the athletes, as they do their personal best, show joy and courage during competition on an equal playing field. And they will inspire us to do the same in our lives every day. Thank you to the volunteers who work throughout the weekend to make the games a success. The Winter Games Management Team members have worked hard to offer the athletes the best facilities, and provide an unforgettable experience. Another huge thanks goes to the law enforcement officers here with us tonight at Opening, as they repre- sent the largest grassroots fundraiser called the Law Enforcement Torch Run in its 25th year. Also, tonight, please congratulate the three very important people being recognized tonight as our Distinguished Service Award winners, which is SOGA’s highest annual honor. Thank you to Winter Games presenting sponsor Stadion Money Management and other sponsors, individu- als and foundations who helped make this year’s games successful. The games wouldn’t be possible with- out you. To the City of Marietta and to Cobb County, thank you for your effort and dedication to SOGA’s mission of providing athletic training and competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
