Special Olympics Modifies Event Schedule

Special Olympics Georgia has come to the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 State Fall Games and State Horse Show scheduled for October 9th and 10th. The SOGA team and Games Organizing Committee have worked diligently over the past several months to organize this event. However due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the safety of all the Athletes, Coaches, and Volunteers being the top concern, SOGA feels this is the best decision at this time. SOGA would like to thank all parties involved for their support and understanding during these challenging times. SOGA is continuing to work on return to play programming for the remainder of this year, so that Athletes from around the State will be able to safely get back into doing what they love.
