We here at the San Diego Senior Olympic Games would like to take this time to thank all of our sponsors, supporters, athletes, commissioners and support staff for a great 2011 Senior Games. On behalf of Dr. Lee Rice and our board of directors to wish each and every one of you and your families a Very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Your commitment to carry on active, healthy and vigorous lives inspires all who know you. 2012 marks our Silver Anniversary and I hope to see you and many more active adults over 50 participating.

Age of Champions is the uplifting story of a group of athletes—a 100-year-old tennis champion, 86-year-old pole vaulter, swimming brothers, and team of basketball grandmothers—all chasing gold at the National Senior Games. The film captures the triumphant spirit of these competitors as they tackle the challenges of old age with grace, humor, and optimism. Win or lose, they inspire us all to follow our dreams and find purpose at any stage of life.

Hello Athletes,

As the Executive Director I would like to take this opportunity to welcome each and every one of you awesome Senior Athletes to the 2011 September Senior Games. With all of the on going support we have received from our sponsors and supporters it proves to be an outstanding year. We would not have been able to meet our goals if it wasn’t for an outstanding Board of Directors, the passion of our Games Commissioner, Our outstanding Commissioners, Our Senior PR Consultant, and all the hard work from all of our volunteers. I would like to take this moment to thank them for their dedication.

We had a good turn out in 2010 and are looking forward to a bigger turnout in 2011. We have come a long way with major sponsors like TV EARS, Sycuan Casino, Union Tribune, (just to mention a few). We have a new website and for the 1^st. time are offering online registration. We have some new sponsors that believe in helping us follow our dream. There has also been support from many government officials that are willing to recognize and applaud our efforts, by issuing Proclamations to recognize the San Diego Senior Olympics during the month of September. We have come out with our 1st ever E-Newsletter. We also have a new office 4740 Murphy Canyon, Suite 200 (just up the road from the Chargers facility). Please feel free to pop in and say hello.

Again Welcome to the 2011 Senior Olympic Games here in San Diego, CA.

Danny Propp
Executive Director

Our North County Games have come and gone and we have had a blast organizing and holding our events. As we change gears to start with our September games, we would like to proudly announce that our registration will begin mid July. This year we will feature online registration to help speed up and make the process more efficient for those who will be competing. We have many sports and events lined up for you and are looking forward to making this year bigger than ever. Stay tuned for more updates!
