The Special Olympics is alive and well in the town of Wareham. Teams in basketball, flag football and softball have been very successful in recent years, winning tournament championships and even playing games in Gillette Stadium. Coach Mike Spellman and athletes Kareen Andrade and Malcolm Monteiro speak with Jim Phillips this week about their program, and the friends they have made along the way.

Townsquare Sunday with Jim Phillips can be heard each Sunday at 6 a.m. on WBSM 1420 and WBSM.com. Townsquare Sunday is a weekly public affairs program highlighting non-profits and community organizations in the Greater New Bedford area.
