March 8th is an all-day fundraiser called motionball Marathon of Sport. This day is filled with sports where teams of University of Waterloo students will play sports alongside Special Olympics athletes from our local community.
As co-event director at UW, I am very passionate about this event and bringing together athletes of all abilities together on the playing field. Sports are a way to include everyone regardless of their abilities to create a community and a day of fun and lifelong memories.
This day not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement, but allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities.
As a University we have a $10,000 fundraising target and with your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and make a difference in creating a more inclusive Canada! Please consider supporting our motionball at UW by making a donation directly to our fundraising page. These donations have a direct impact on Special Olympics Canada.
Every donation makes a difference.

Mackenzie
