Every year for over 40 years, the Rotary Club of Sandton has arranged a fun day for 100–200 individuals with intellectual disabilities. This event has been run in partnership with Special Olympics South Africa for the past 10 years.

The participants come from special schools and group homes around Gauteng including Bona Lesedi, Irene Homes, Forest Farm Centre, Logwood Village and many more.

This year, the Fun Day will take place at the Field and Study Center, in Sandton, on Saturday, 25 May 2024.

The day consists of games such as bocce, football, fun athletic races, volleyball, tug-of-war, and many others. We also arrange rides on Harley Davidson motorcycles, thanks to Steel Wings Motorcycle Club and also provide a very entertaining magic show for the participants.

All athletes, coaches, and other helpers are provided with snacks, lunch, and soft drinks sponsored by Woolworths. Participants receive a goodie bag at the end of the event having enjoyed what is for them a really special day in their year.
