Congratulations are due for the Athletics and Recreation department, which helped raise $18,000 for Special Olympics Canada recently.

Athletics and Recreation hosted a Motionball marathon competition on Saturday, June 23.  As the host venue for the event, Athletics and Recreation collected over $18,000 for the Special Olympics.

The day's activities featured in a series of volleyball, benchball, basketball, flag football, Ultimate, and soccer competitions. UBC's participating team featured a mix of students, student athletes, recent alumni and a Special Olympics athlete.
