Escambia Special Olympics Held At Tate (With Gallery)
May 17, 2014
The track and field portion of the Escambia County Specials Olympics was held Friday at Tate High School.
Hundreds of athletes from over a dozen schools took part in Friday’s event. Hundreds of Tate High students also took part, running events and serving as volunteer “buddies” for the athletes.
The day included track and field events, softball and tennis ball tosses, and other competitive events — plus fun events like fishing games, a petting zoo, face painting and more.

Friday’s event had been rained out three previous times this year.

God Bless all of our special olympians, and the folks who care enough to make this event happen…
Thanks northescambia.com for covering this. Where was channel 3? The PNJ?
The PNJ and WEAR did not even cover the Relay for Life at Tate. Well, the PNJ has a lady there trying to give away newspaper and sell subscriptions, but nothing in the next day’s paper about relay for life. She couldn’t even give the newspapers away to people. So sad.
Our special olympians, and my son is one, are precious and deserve coverage thanks again NE, the pics are great!
Congratulations what a great day. Everyone is an Olympic Champion.
AWESOME event for the students and their Buddies, mentors, teachers, aides and parents.
There is a lot of Heart and Love here and every day.
A beautiful day for this great event.
