Revealing the Champion in All of Us  - #ShineAsOne

In 2022, the Area 19 basketball team was invited to play in the USA Games. Art was asked what attending the USA Games meant to him. Art's reply? "Team comes first." He mentioned having fun, enjoying every moment there, and lastly, winning games. 

Art is a champion!

Art is considered a father-figure of the team; he looks over everybody. We think this Athlete Profile video by Special Olympics VA embodies that perfectly.

We are honored to have Art as part of our family!

Art had the honor of participating in the "Shine As One" commercial that Coca-Cola and Order Films did for the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games . We think Art and all the athletes rocked this commercial! 

Below is some behind the scenes footage of the video shoot.
