The 2019 Area M Fall Classic was held by Special Olympics PA – Area M’s local program on Sunday, September 15th. Philadelphia joined twenty other counties to participate in bocce and soccer. Area M also offered competition in long-distance running/walking, powerlifting, and flag football.
The day started with Opening Ceremonies, run by Area M’s Athlete Leadership Team (ALT). The Athlete Leadership Team consists of athletes who want a more leadership role in the organization and bring feedback from their team to coaches and the management team and assist with planning events, and in this case, Opening Ceremonies! When athletes weren’t competing, you could find them having lunch at the Hershey High School cafeteria, at the Italian Lodge in Hershey, hanging out in Olympic Village, having cotton candy or a milkshake to celebrate the day in the Breeze Way Tent, or hanging out with DJ Tommy who kept the mood festive.
Thank you to Area M for hosting us and congratulations on 16 years of the Area M Fall Classic!
