The University of Colorado and Colorado State University may be rivals on the football field, but are partners in the community.
On Aug. 29, students from each university will be teamed up with Special Olympics Colorado athletes for a Unified Flag Football game of their own. It's all part of the Special Olympics Unified Sports Rivalry Series.
Dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences, Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team.
"We are honored to partner with CU and CSU to help further our mission of creating an inclusive and welcoming community for all Coloradans both with and without intellectual disabilities," said Mindy Watrous, President and CEO of Special Olympics Colorado.
