That pretty well sums up the 2015 Special Olympics Oklahoma Winter Games! All the successes are due to the dedication and commitment from everyone involved.
In 1996, when we hosted our very first Winter Games. We started the Games with just 1,200 athletes. It was a new concept, and we wondered how it would be accepted. Nineteen years after that initial Winter Games, 2,292 athletes and partners competed in 2015. We are happy that the Winter Games are a smashing success and a popular destination for more and more athletes each year!
A special thank you to the volunteers and staff at Oklahoma City Community College, The University of Oklahoma Huston Huffman Center, AMF Boulevard Bowl, Holiday Lanes, Penn 44, AMF Windsor, Fire Lake, Planet Bowl and Heritage Lanes. We also wish to thank Journey Church, Norman for welcoming more than 1,000 attendees to the Victory Celebration and Dance.
