Our message is that we “Play Unified to Live Unified.” Our activities on EKS Day are focused on sport because Eunice Kennedy Shriver believed that on the playing field we forget about our differences and forge bonds that recognize our mutual humanity.  During this global event, we invite you to join us in playing unified that we may teach the world to live unified.  To give ever new life to Eunice Kennedy Shriver's vision, we are calling the athletes, families and friends of Special Olympics to come together in a day of inclusive sport and play and we need your help. EKS Day is celebrated annually on the fourth Saturday in September. The third annual global EKS Day is set for 22 Sept. 2012.

If you have questions, please email eksday@specialolympics.org  or call 1-800-700-8585.
