This past Saturday, UConn’s Special Olympics Events Committee participated in the annual Special Olympics Penguin Plunge in Tolland, CT! ❄️
This year, our team, “UConn PD and Friends”, raised $1,300, winning the “Rocking School House Award” which recognizes the school that raised the most money. 15 committee members participated in the plunge with the rest of our committee helping with the setup, registration, and cleanup of the event.

The Special Olympics Events Committee volunteered at the annual Special Olympics & CIAC Basketball Tournament hosted at Gampel Pavilion on March 13th. The committee helped with setup, ran basketball skill stations, cheered on athletes during games, distributed medals to all players, and helped with cleanup. This event was a unique opportunity to bring together five schools from across Connecticut to showcase their talent, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The committee was proud to contribute to such an inspiring event and to contribute to creating a more supportive and inclusive environment!
