Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day
September 26, 2015
Saturday, September 26 is the sixth annual Eunice Kennedy Shriver (EKS) Day, celebrating the life of the founder of Special Olympics Oklahoma.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day is an annual celebration of her life and a global call to action for people to live in a more unified society—in sport, in the community and in the work place. By committing acts of inclusion, acceptance and unity for and with people with intellectual disabilities, we will continue to build on Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s legacy. Special Olympics commemorates Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day, bringing together people with and without intellectual disabilities to give ever new life to Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s vision and to honor Mrs. Shriver’s inspiration, impact and indomitable spirit.
