The Charleston Beach Olympics is back for year three this Saturday, June 24, at Sullivan’s Island.

This event raises funds for tuition for Pattison’s Academy’s Therapeutic Summer Camp enrollees. Pattison’s Academy is an education and rehabilitation academy in Charleston that provides support to children with severe disabilities. Its Therapeutic Summer Camp is the only one in the Lowcountry and receives no program revenue, solely relying on community support.

Kick-off begins at 1:30 p.m. with eight Olympic games along the beach. The after-party will be held at Mainland Container Co. Kitchen and Bar immediately following the games and is open to the public.

Registration includes a spot in the games, a swag bag filled with a headband, koozie, and sponsored gift along with a free drink and food at the after-party.

Raffle tickets and t-shirts will be available for purchase, as well as direct donations. For more event information or to donate to the Charleston Beach Olympics efforts, visit charlestonbeacholympics.com.
