The Nuggets came to Campbell Campus for the February 19 Special Olympics Unified basketball game against Overland, bringing their cheerleaders, hype squad, announcer, community ambassadors Ervin Johnson and Mike Randall and mascot Rocky.

There was a great turnout in the stands for both teams that played a competitive match. The Raiders trailed the Blazers for the majority of the game, but rallied late in the fourth quarter to even the score and lead by one point until the final 30 seconds of the game when Overland sunk a final basket to clinch the 48-47 win. 

At halftime, the Nuggets presented each school with a $500 check to support their Unified Sports Program efforts, made possible by Cardel Homes. The spirit of sportsmanship and support was palpable in the gym that erupted in cheers whenever a basket was scored, regardless of which team made it. 

We are so grateful to the Nuggets and Special Olympics of Colorado for selecting our Unified Program as one of their takeover events this season, helping us to showcase the positive impacts we generate when we choose to include.
