Big Time GameShows, based out of Weyburn, Sask., will collect pledges for Special Olympics Saskatchewan during its season finale on June 3.
Big Time LIVE!, hosted by Weyburn entertainer Richy Roy, will collect pledges for“They need us now more than ever because it’s not just about competing in the games, it’s also about the mental well-being and being connected to their friends and family,” said Roy, who operates Big Time GameShows with his brother Preston.The online game show is open to anyone with a Facebook account to access the Big Time LIVE! page. It’s free to play, and contestants — who answer in the comments — can win prizes.
“Just in conversations with some of our athletes, you get a sense for how much they miss their programming, and it’s a lot more than just sport and fitness,” said Jeff Zerr, director of marketing and development for Special Olympics Saskatchewan.Zerr said athletes have expressed that they miss the structure and routine the programs provide.
Special Olympics Saskatchewan works with children, youth and adults living with an intellectual disability. The organization currently supports 1,200 Special Olympics athletes in the province. Farm Credit Canada is matching donations received during the game show on June 3 up to a total of $5,000.
