Summer Games 2001

The summer games were held at beautiful Penn State University. Berks was represented by 75 athletes in aquatics, softball, track and basketball. 6 Athletes earned double gold winners, and the varsity basketball team won a gold medal in its division. If you would like to see how your athlete did personally please follow this link. Many, pictures were taken by all kinds of people. We hope you can find your favorite athlete amongst them. Please follow this link to start viewing the pictures. We would like to thank Pennsylvania Special Olympics and Penn State University for the great way they treated our athletes. It was just wonderful. The Summer Games 2001 were held at Penn State University from June 7-10, 2001. For me it was the first time I was at the games. I wish everyone with a special needs child or grandchild could go to the games and see the way these athletes battle and fight it is truly inspirational. From the first day to the last day and everything in between the athletes are busy and having fun, from the opening ceremonies when the Penn State football players and other athletes sign the athletes shirts and just hang out to the closing ceremonies when 2,500 athletes and coaches are in the Jordan-Price building for the closing ceremonies and then a dance that followed. All the efforts and all the smiles just makes you feel good. I have tried to create a photo-essay of our 4 days at Penn State. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you get involved. Please follow this link to start viewing all the many pictures. I hope you get a chance to see your athlete.
