The 2009 games were the toughest yet! With all of our events so meticulously planned out and divided into age groups, the competition was like none other. Congratulations to all of the teams for doing such a wonderful job. We can’t thank you enough for practicing with your residents and training them all year long. They were exceptional athletes! Over 400 residents were in attendance at the Games For Life, and counting the spectators over 1,000 people were at the Games. We have space for more teams in 2010 so start practicing now, get your money raised, and invite everyone to come and watch! And don’t forget… If you know someone that wants to be on the Games For Life committee for 2010, we still have room.
A special thanks to some incredible people:
- Dr. Namkee Choi and the School of Social Work at the University of Texas for sponsoring our event.
- Melissa Bergeron and Jodi Rogers for chairing the Games Committee.
- The games committee, judges, officials and volunteers. We couldn’t have done it without you!
