10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Special Olympics College is hosting their first awareness event on campus called Spread the Word to End the Word, a national campaign fighting for the rights of those with disabilities. On this day, Special Olympics programs across the country advocate for people to stop using the word "retard" or the "r-word" that is derogatory towards those with disabilities. We want YOU to join us in stopping the use of this demeaning word. Together we can make a positive difference in the lives of these individuals and we just need your help! Come to the BC Plaza (or the BC in case of rain) and sign your name in a pledge to stop using the R-Word! You'll be speaking on behalf of millions that do not want a voice and it's simple and easy! We'll also have free giveaways include t-shirts and other fun things. So come on out!See more information here: http://www.r-word.org/
