News & Announcements

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Special Olympics Unified Partners, Ava Krall and Reegan Welte, will be featured on Good Day Stateline with Michelle Abraham.  You can catch them on Fox 39 tonight at 5:30 PM with a replay at 11:00 PM. 

 

On Saturday, September 17, hundreds of roller coaster enthusiasts will gather at Six Flags Great America to take on the twists, turns, and thrills in this adrenaline-seeking challenge.

 

How does it work? Participants sign up to ride the equivalent of a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon on Six Flags’ world-class roller coasters, then raise money from their family and friends leading up to event day. The distance is measured by the length of the track on each coaster and the funds raised benefit the athletes and Young Athletes of Special Olympics Illinois.  Anyone can join us or if you can’t make the event, please consider donating to our team.
