On Friday, June 9, through Sunday, June 11, the 2023 Special Olympics New Jersey Summer Games took place at the College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in Ewing, NJ. Over 2,000 Special Olympics New Jersey athletes, along with thousands of spectators and volunteers gathered together to kick off an incredible weekend at the Opening Ceremony on Friday night.
There was an energetic athlete parade where families, friends, law enforcement, and fellow teammates cheered on each Area as they entered the stadium and took their spots on the field. For the 2nd year in row, SONJ live-streamed the Opening Ceremony via Facebook.
Throughout the 3-day event, athletes competed in seven different sports, including Athletics (Track & Field), Bocce, Gymnastics, Powerlifting, Softball, Swimming, and Tennis. Competition venues consisted of Armstrong Memorial Park, Schafer Sports Center, and various locations across TCNJ’s campus.
