ESM Special Olympics

ESM’s Special Olympic athletes participate with Special Olympics Maine in a variety of sporting events throughout the year. Annually they are active in the Summer and Winter games where they compete and earn medals in events such as snow shoeing, cross country skiing, track and field, and bowling.  The team also attends non-Olympic events like fishing derbies, regional sports competitions and camping trips.

Team ESM is also very active in fundraising endeavors for Special Olympics Maine by participating in events like “To Serve and Protect”, as well as the Law Enforcement Torch Run. Team ESM Athletes provide lunch to the Torch Runners as a “Thank you” for their support. Team ESM also does a Golf Tournament fundraiser every fall at Natanis Golf Course in Vassalboro. With the money raised we can purchase needed uniforms and gear as well as help supply other Special Olympic teams who many have difficulty reaching their fundraising goals. All these events are a great change for our Athletes to foster team spirit, engage in the community, and have fun.
