Two historic events converge Saturday, June 26, at Special Olympics Missouri’s (SOMO) Training for Life Campus at 305 Special Olympics Drive in Jefferson City.

First, SOMO celebrates its 50th anniversary with a banquet and ceremony inducting four new members into the SOMO Hall of Fame. Awards for volunteer-, coach-, family-, and athlete-of-the-year also will be given. The awards ceremonies and anniversary celebration begins at 12:30 p.m.

At 2 p.m., around 200 athletes, coaches and partners will arrive for the start of Team Missouri Selection Camp, which runs through Thursday, July 1. The camp training and competition will determine which SOMO athletes will represent Missouri at the ESPN-sponsored USA Games next summer in Orlando, Fla.

Athletes in nine sports will train at five locations in Jefferson City and Fulton from 8:30 a.m. to noon each day, Sunday through Wednesday. Athletes will be housed at Lincoln University.
