Awareness BBQ - hosted by Special Olympics College, Best Buddies, Autism Speaks U

As part of dPS's Global Health Week 2014, on Saturday, April 5th from 12-2PM, Special Olympics College, Best Buddies, and Autism Speaks U will team up to host an Awareness BBQ on West Main Quad with local Special Olympics athletes and other individuals in the community with disabilities. We'll also have a banner signing for the national Spread the Word to End the Word campaign for students to pledge to stop the derogatory use of the r-word, or "retard" as well as a Special Olympics athlete to share his/her experiences. Our groups' missions combine to bring together students and those with disabilities to promote inclusion and understanding and to facilitate friendship and interaction with the surrounding community through fun, sport, and other volunteering opportunities.
