Public Information Coordinator<br />
The Richland County Recreation Commission was<br />
awarded a $5000 grant from the Carolina Panthers<br />
Charities. The Recreation Commission’s Special<br />
Populations Department will team up with the South<br />
Carolina Special Olympics to start the first in the State<br />
of South Carolina, Challenger Flag Football league<br />
for kids with disabilities. Kicking off in August,<br />
the Challenger Flag Football League will be free<br />
for boys and girls, ages 8-21, with intellectual and<br />
physical disabilities. To register, parents can contact<br />
the Recreation Commission’s Special Populations<br />
Department, (803) 754-6720 ext. 215.<br />
South Carolina Special Olympics also plans to<br />
make flag football the newest sport for the 2009<br />
Special Olympics State Games in Anderson, S.C.<br />
According to the Special Olympics, this league will<br />
be the third of its kind in the United States, Indiana<br />
and Arizona have similar leagues.<br />
There is only one Carolina Panthers Challenger<br />
Flag Football League in operation, which was<br />
funded by the Carolina Panthers Charities, located<br />
in Charlotte, NC. The Carolina Panthers Charities<br />
is a donor advised fund of the Foundation of the<br />
Carolinas and is endowed by the Panthers Football,<br />
LLC and Panthers Stadium, LLC<br />
