St. Thomas Sports Spectacular Supports Special Olympians- From The Beehive E131

In this week’s update from City Hall, Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development ducks inside to escape the cold and sits down with Dave Kerr to talk about something that truly warms the community—Special Olympics in St. Thomas.


Dave shares his role as a regional co-coordinator and longtime coach, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the wide range of sports programs available locally and their impact on athletes across all seasons. With nearly 50 Special Olympians participating in St. Thomas, the programs go far beyond competition—building confidence, leadership, friendships, and a strong sense of belonging.


We’re also joined by Julian, a Special Olympian, who speaks candidly about his experiences in basketball, bowling, and soccer, the friendships he’s made along the way, and what representing St. Thomas means to him. His story is a powerful reminder of why these programs matter—not just to athletes, but to the entire community that cheers them on.The conversation wraps up with a look ahead to Sports Spectacular, a one-of-a-kind event that brings together Special Olympians, their families, community supporters, and professional athletes for an unforgettable evening in support of Special Olympics.
