But today we talked more about social inclusion and how we can build cultures and places of belonging that extend out of those classroom environments and academic spaces.

So focused a lot on our unified sports program through Special Olympics Michigan and our peer-to-peer sidekick program today.

Okay, so in the most tangible way, because every teacher can relate to how do you bridge the gap between, okay, there's a student in our class who wasn't in our class before, and now they're here, and we want to make sure that the lunchroom or the birthday party or the... you know, building true friendships.

What have you seen or how has it evolved?

We recorded it live in Durham, North Carolina during our annual fall event, and I was joined by my dear friend, Tim Shriver.

Tim has served as the chairman of the Special Olympics for over 30 years.

He comes from a family with a pretty extraordinary history of public service, and he has spent much of his life asking what it would take to build a world where everyone is treated as though they matter.

Tim is not interested in dignity as just like a nice concept.

To get a sense of the magnitude of your encounter, especially with public service.

Public service as basically the family business.

Like your mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded the Special Olympics.

Your father, Sergeant Shriver, founded the Peace Corps.

Hey, I played in a big-time golf tournament today.

The Bob Busse Memorial Golf Tournament, 31st annual to benefit Special Olympics, went down at...

the Country Club of Roswell.

680 the Fan had a team led by Ballou and Finneran.

James Donaldson of the Georgia Bulldogs, longtime center, 17 years in the National Football League.

He wore those uniforms quite well.

Westy played in another charity golf tournament today and wanted to mention this, the 31st annual Bob Bussey Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit Special Olympics at the Country Club of Roswell, which I had not played prior to today.

And so really enjoyed going out there.

Also, right before the World Series coverage starts, on Daily Dodge TV, we are going to have the Seckle Scrimmage take place over at the Beaverdam High School.

That is a special Olympics basketball game where we get to highlight and celebrate so many of these amazing young people as they get to go out there and Really put on a show for us.

Last year was one of the more fun things I've done since I've got to work here at Good Karma Sports.

The smiles, the happiness, everybody, it's truly a party atmosphere.

St James retired to focus on family, but occasionally appeared on TV.

She was a long-time supporter of the Special Olympics, volunteering and serving on its board of directors.

She leaves behind her husband, children and extended family.

Lindor and his wife work with the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

the Seen Foundation, a disability advocacy group, Special Olympics of Florida, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

So congratulations to Francisco Lindor.
