The California State University, Fullerton
Kathleen E. Faley Memorial Special Games

is the largest event of its kind held in Orange County, CA.
A small CSUF school project has now grown to include thousands of developmentally disabled students of all disabilities from schools in Orange County who participate in the day of non-competitive games each year.

This year it is expected that 2,500 special athletes and over 4,000 volunteers will attend. Athletes will be paired with a high school volunteer buddy to make the day a rewarding experience! There is no charge for schools to attend. The CSUF Special Games is a grassroots effort with all donations going directly to support the event for the benefit of disabled children in Orange County.  See you on the field!
