UCO Disabled Sports appreciates everyone
who assists in the task of helping fund the various disabled sports
programs that are held at UCO. Some of the upcoming events include:
Night
of Champions
Date: August 8, 2008
The
Night of Champions is a benefit gala held in conjunction with the
Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games. The inaugural Night of
Champions was held in February 2006 and Olympians Bart Conner and
Nadia Comaneci served as honorary chairs for this incredible event.
Night of Champions provides a magical evening of food
and entertainment, along with an impressive silent and live
auction. During the evening the Opening Ceremony is simulcast for
everyone to enjoy, and local talent features a taste of the Olympic
host country through song, dance and food.
This evening provides all Oklahomans an opportunity
to feel the excitement of the Olympic and Paralympic movement and
show their support of our local Paralympic athletes as we send them
off to the Paralympic Games following the Olympics.
The 2008 Night of Champions will be held August 8,
2008. For more information about this event contact Shelly Ramsey
