#FlashbackFriday January - April 2024: 3rd year between Minneapolis Public Schools Transition Plus 18-22 years old students and their peers at University of Minnesota Unified Club #LiveUnified and #PlayUnified Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools®, with support from Special Olympics Minnesota. Students gathered monthly for Unified activities such as: Get to Know You Meeting at Bruininks Hall, Kicksledding & Environmental Education through Three Rivers Park District - Richardson Nature Center, Kickball and fun games together at the URW Sports Complex (Dome) and concluding with bowling at Coffman Union. Students had many opportunities to build authentic friendships through the joy of play, sports and conversations. We are honored that this is now a lasting tradition that will continue for many years to come for MPS Transition Plus and University of Minnesota Unified Club. This partnership has inspired many other Unified partnerships between transition programs and colleges across Minnesota, which we are proud to say all started right here in Minneapolis through the leadership of magnificent teachers, school staff, administrators and students in Minneapolis Public Schools -- as well as our tremendous college leaders at University of Minnesota. Can't wait to see what 2025 and beyond will bring with this partnership in the future! Proud to see the Unified movement now a legacy with our young adults in Minneapolis. Check out our short video from 2022 that captured the beginnings of this Unified partnership: https://lnkd.in/g4k3vnBv Shout out to Zak Armstrong, Sr Manager Colleges and Transition Programs at SOMN. It's been an honor to serve alongside you in this adventure. Shout out to Emily Garness, Sr Manager Volunteers, who helped us out at the very beginning of this partnership. Shout out to Katie Anderson Marketing and Communications Coordinator and Mick Schulte Content Marketing Specialist who have been helping support us over the past three years with fantastic photography to capture this partnership. & Katie Krebs Howlett VP Marketing & Communications for arranging a video to be made of this project in 2022. Shout out to Ryan Hallonquist, Volunteer Coordinator, who got involved with Unified at UMN in 2024, which turned out a great way for him to become connected to us at SOMN. Finally, a shout out to Jordaan Boxer, where he had also been involved with Unified at UMN, one of the original college leaders for the pilot, and ended up being very involved as a volunteer with SOMN, then a colleague also as a Volunteer Coordinator with SOMN -- and now is a medical student, where we wish him the best of luck at being a future tremendous doctor advocating for our members in the disability community. Last #FlashbackFriday of the summer. Looking forward to a fun new school year kicking off!!! #MPSProud #UMNProud #SOMN #ThreeRiversParkDistrict #InclusionRevolution #LiveUnified #PlayUnified

Waggle’s third annual 24-Hour Hole-In-One Challenge shattered the numbers of previous years. Over 250 golfers raised more than $25,000 for Special Olympics Minnesota, all to take their chance at hitting a hole in one. This year there were FIVE amazing holes-in-one, with one participant even hitting two holes-in-one in seven minutes! 🤯 Thank you to our friends at Waggle Apparel and everyone who participated in this unique event. ❤ #SOMN #InclusionRevolution #GetYourWaggleOn
