Volunteers: A Special Thanks
They are the backbone of the Keystone State Games Festival of Sports, the people who make the Games a reality. They exemplify the spirit of Pennsylvania sports. They are the many volunteers who make the Keystone State Games Festival of Sports what they are today.
Just who are these behind-the-scenes volunteers who help stage PA’s Largest Amateur Sporting Event?
They are the Keystone State Games, Inc. Board of Directors, State Sport Directors, Regional Sport Coordinators, Coaches, Officials, Medical Personnel, and Seasonal Staff all working together to make the Keystone State Games Festival of Sports and Pennsylvania Senior Games a memorable experience for competitors and their families.
It would take too long to list all of the many roles and responsibilities these volunteers take upon themselves to make the Keystone State Games Festival of Sports successful. A great deal of applause and a very loud THANK YOU to all of the volunteers!
History of the Keystone State Games:
The Keystone State Games are a result of a resolution by Representative Joseph R. Pitts (Chester County) and approved by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1980. Keystone State Games Inc., a nonprofit corporation, was formed in 1983 with the help of former Governor Richard Thornburgh so the Games would not be solely dependent on government funding. Since its inception, Keystone State Games, Inc. has attracted over 500,000 participants of various age groups into their events.
Keystone State Games, Inc. Mission
The mission of the Keystone State Games is to promote physical fitness, sports activity, and sportsmanship as a health improvement and disease prevention strategy for all Pennsylvanians and other participants and to create an expanded, coordinated and citizen-sponsored program of amateur athletic competition.
Purpose:
Provide a comprehensive, coordinated and citizens supported program of sports and fitness competitions to promote physical fitness in which all Pennsylvanians can participate for the purposes of personal growth and development, and the enhancement of physical and mental health.
Provide a mechanism and medium through which Pennsylvania’s sport bodies can stimulate physical fitness and sports involvement for everyone.
Encourage government, schools, businesses, industry, foundations, and individuals to support expansion of physical fitness and sports participation as a disease prevention strategy in an effort for personal wellness.
Provide a statewide, multi-sport program with an Olympic format, to encourage and assist in preparing Pennsylvania’s athletes to enter national and international competitions.
