Oak Lawn Special Recreation Pack the House Basketball Day

Fun family event celebration of Inclusion and Special Recreation athletes.

Come out to this fun family day full of basketball, music, cheerleaders & fans! The Oak Lawn Special Recreation Basketball Day started 10 years ago in a small gym at St. Linus Catholic Church in Oak Lawn. From there it grew in both size and enthusiasm. Brother Rice, Mother McCauley & Marist took turns hosting the event in the following years. This year, Oak Lawn Hometown Middle School happily agreed to host Basketball Day on Saturday January 19th, 2019.

Doors open at noon and admission is free. Donations accepted at the door.

Games begin at 1 pm and there will be concessions with pizza from Palermo's 95th and hot dogs from Whittinghams Meat.
