The event is free and spectators are encouraged to come out and cheer on and support the great athletes, according to a release.

“The Coca-Cola Sun Games benefiting Special Olympics Arizona is a fun Unified sports competition that will pair individuals with and without intellectual disabilities in a series of friendly football competitions. Teams of four (28 total) will be competing together in seven different football-themed stations. Teams will consist of one (Special Olympics Arizona) athlete, one special guest/community member, and two participants from sponsor organizations,” it states.

The event provides individuals the opportunity to have an interactive experience with Special Olympics Arizona athletes in a fun, safe and competitive environment.

“It allows (Special Olympics Arizona) athletes to gain higher-level sports skills while experiencing meaningful inclusion by playing a valued role on a team, with the goal of changing people’s attitudes about people with disabilities while fostering lasting friendships,” the release states.

The Special Olympics Arizona participants are athletes from the following high schools – Westwood, Poston Butte, Perry and Mesa. Community partner participants come from the Pat Tillman Veterans Center and Veterans Upward Bound.

Also participating is special guest Anthony Robles, a former ASU wrestler who won the 2010-11 NCAA individual wrestling championship despite being born with one leg. This leader and inspirational speaker is the author of the book “Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated, How I Became a Champion.”
