TOLEDO, Ohio – The University of Toledo football program will share the joy of sports when it host its 10th annual “Victory Day” for special needs students from Toledo area schools in the Glass Bowl on Saturday, Aug. 16. Check-in is 2:30 p.m. with the program beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Victory Day allows special needs students to have their “moment in the sun” on the football field. Each student will be partnered with a UT football player who will serve as his/her mentor for the day. Victory Day athletes will participate in a number of simulated game-day activities, assisted by Rocket football players. Participants will wear Rocket team jerseys. Toledo cheerleaders will also be on hand to show their support.
Victory Day was started in 2010 by Aaron Segedi, a teacher and football coach from Trenton, Mich., a cancer survivor whose life was saved thanks to a liver donation from his sister, Rhonda. Since then, the Victory Day program has been adopted by high schools and universities in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
