Unified Sports advisors shared how these programs help students form lifelong friendships, develop leadership skills, and create lasting memories. Students from both general and special education spoke about their roles as athletes, partners, and leaders, describing how Homecoming events—like the Unified flag football game, pep rally, and parade—helped them connect with classmates in new ways. A standout moment came during Coronation, when a Unified Sports athlete and Best Buddies member was crowned Queen, reflecting how inclusion and connection are celebrated throughout the Harrisburg community. We are #TigerProud! 🐾
