Villanova is proud to host Fall
Games for the 20th Consecutive Year!
Special Olympics Pennsylvania is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fall
Festival at Villanova University on November 7-9, 2008. The 2007 Fall Festival
welcomed over 1,000 athletes and 400 coaches from 44 counties to participate in
the statewide competition. Last Year's Fall Festival drew over 2,500 volunteers
from the Villanova Student Body and the surrounding community to serve as
officials, athlete escorts, and award presenters, as well as to provide
administrative and support services. The Fall Festival is hosted and organized
by Villanova University students and is the largest annual student-run Special
Olympics event in the world.
Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) provides year-round sports training and
competition for more than 18,000 children and adults with intellectual
disabilities. The organization offers over 300 local and sectional events and
three major statewide events- Winter Games, Summer Games, and Fall Festival - in
23 sports with the opportunity for athletes to advance to regional and
international competition.
