Eunice Kennedy Shiver DaySaturday September 25th 2010 Annual celebration of her life and a global call for people to commit actions of inclusion, acceptance and unity for all people with intellectual disabilities. EKS Day has been created to inspire new people to experience her legacy and embrace the movement she founded in her backyard. On September 25,2010 Special Olympics & Best Buddies will lead the world in a celebration of the inspiration, impact and spirit of Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She opened people’s minds to the gifts and talents of individuals with intellectual disabilities, believing in their possibilities, fueling the desire in all of us to make a difference. • We are currently working on promoting EKS Day thru media & online website. Please visit www.facebook.com/ncareasoia for further info & check back for details. • We are thinking of forming a Friendship Walk for Athletes, Coaches, Families & Friends. • Other ideas have been a Sports day @ a park, Media Coverage (radio, TV ad, newspaper, online etc), or a Healthy Athlete Screening… • Please provide any ideas or suggestions to making this day happen as we need to participate annually
