Victors Day Event

Every year we put on our Victors Day event. The Victors Day brings together Michigan and EMU Athletes and over 700 Special Students from all over Washtenaw County. It is a heart-warming and satisfying sight to see them meet the University of Michigan Athletes. The special students putt, dribble a basketball, row, catch a softball, hit a field hockey ball and experience a host of other sports at various stations. The U of M Best Buddies co-sponsor this event.

VICTORS DAY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Over 750 special students from all over Washtenaw County converged at the Oosterbaan Field House in Ann Arbor, MI. We've posted a few pictures and video below, but you can a full catalogue of pictures from the event.

T. WALL B-BALL EVENT

Our T. Wall B-Ball event as been in existence for over 23 years. A special spirit bonds the students with over 400 Special Athletes as they buddy up for a day of carnival events and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. The Special Athletes receive a t-shirt, prizes (cakes from the cakewalk), trophies, and a complete lunch. But the biggest reward is the happy faces and high fives that are shared throughout the day.

all star hot dog stand

Our All Star Hot Dog Stand operates on the front lawn of 1011 S. Main Street. Located less than 100 yards from the University of Michigan Football Stadium. Special People and volunteers sell hot dogs, pop, chips and candy at each U of M home football game. In early November we receive hardship letters from several special education teachers in Washtenaw County. From the many hardship letters we make decisions about the appropriate use of the proceeds.
