A sunny Saturday was filled with fun, smiles, and competition to raise money for the Special Olympics at 琉璃神社鈥檚 City Park.
On Sept. 21, Motionball held its 11th annual Marathon of Sport, where participants played a variety of games throughout the day. All teams played flag football, ultimate frisbee, kickball, road hockey, kinball, and benchball.
The non-profit organization鈥檚 goal is to introduce and inspire the next generation of volunteers and donors to the Special Olympic movement.
In addition to the sports being played, participants will take a pledge to end the use of derogatory language in everyday conversation and take a stand against bullying. Motionball uses and sells merchandise printed with 鈥�#nogoodway,' which means there is no good way to use these words.
Motionball, which is a cross-country organization with 32 events each year, has the goal to raise $2 million in 2024.
