Our annual Ellie Bloom Special Olympics is a fun and inspiring free event that welcomes athletes of all ages and abilities to participate. The event was inspired by and named after Ellie Bloom, a long-time employee and supporter of the Charles River Center.

Each yearly, approximately 200 athletes participate in modified track and field events such as running and wheelchair dashes, basketball throws, relay races, and ladderball so that all who participate will be successful.
