GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Special Olympics Michigan officials have announced a fundraising effort to build the world’s largest Special Olympics sports facility in Grand Rapids.
The new facility when completed will be called the Special Olympics Michigan Unified Sports and Inclusion Center. Former Michigan Lt. Governor Brian Calley is one of the campaign co-chairs.
Special Olympics Michigan purchased the former South Christian High School campus and will transform the former Grand Rapids area school into the Special Olympics Michigan Unified Sports & Inclusion Center. The new center will serve as a training facility for Special Olympics Michigan’s four regions and 36 areas throughout the state.
A news conference scheduled for late Thursday is expected to give an overview of fundraising progress and provide a summary of how the new facilities will impact programming and services to local Michigan athletes and their families, according to a press release promoting the event.
