The 3rd annual A SPECIAL DAY IN WALTHAM event was held on Saturday, July 11, and a great time was had by all! Special athletes came out to participate and have fun in 9 sports events and all received a medal. Jim Connors, former OFI participant, was a special guest and was recognized for his efforts on the Cambridge Warriors Basketball Team, which finished 4th in the USA Special Olympics. We couldn't have done this event without all of the amazing volunteers! This event was a joint effort of the Waltham Police Department, Waltham Fire Department, Waltham Recreation, Opportunities for Inclusion and the Waltham Disability Services Commission.

A Special Day in Waltham scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, May 30 has been CANCELLED due to the weather forecast (heavy rain and wind gusts).

While this decision is disappointing, we believe it is in the best interest of the safety and well-being of all athletes.

The Special Day Committee is looking into the possibility of rescheduling the event for a future date and we will keep everyone updated.
