CCC Helps Host TOT Olympics on April 8

Participants and volunteers at the annual TOT Olympics held this year at Coffeyville Community College's Nellis Hall.

Coffeyville Community College hosted the TOT Olympics Friday, April 8 at 12:30 p.m., in Nellis Hall. The event invited all children with special needs in Southeast Kansas, between the ages of two and eight, to participate in various activities with the help of several volunteers from CCC and the community.

“The partnership between TOT Olympics, CCC and the community was outstanding,” said Teresa McVey, Event Coordinator. “The event would not have been successful without everyone’s help.”

Children made their way through timed stations where they did activities such as basketball, corn hole, and an obstacle course.

“I absolutely loved volunteering for this event,” said NaQari Harris, current CCC basketball player. “When we interact and help, it shows them that someone in the community cares about them and helps them keep going.”

This year, Sylvester Williams, former CCC football player and current nose guard for the Denver Broncos, the 2016 Super Bowl Champions, presented all participants with medals. The event ended with photos, autographs and a trip to the concession stand for free snacks and drinks.
