Special Olympics PA's Fall Festival at Villanova University

Special Olympics PA's Fall Festival will be held at Villanova University from November 4 - 6, 2011. More than 1,000 athletes from around the state, including those representing Delaware County, will compete in bocce, long distance running/walking, power lifting, roller skating, soccer and volleyball.  Thanks to Villanova students, it is the largest student-run Special Olympics competition in the world.

More than 2,500 volunteers from the Villanova student body and the surrounding community are expected to participate in the event this year, serving in numerous capacities including as officials, athlete escorts, award presenters, and administrative support services. Volunteers from across the state are welcome and spectators are encouraged to visit any of the competition venues on or near campus to cheer on athletes. For more information about volunteering, visit the official Villanova University Fall Festival Web site at www.specialolympics.villanova.edu.
