Students, coaches across 30 schools to participate in the 2025 Unified Sports event for children and persons with disabilities
Students and coaches across 30 schools in Lagos are expected to participate in the 2025 Unified Sports Event, on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at the Igbobi College Sports Facility, Lagos.
In addition will be parents, partners, and members of the press.
Organiser, Ellen Olusola Caulcrick Foundation (EOCF) said in an announcement that the event is part of its continued commitment to fostering inclusion through sports and education.
The EOCF Unified Sports initiative is a flagship program that brings together students with and without disabilities to compete side-by-side in fun and friendly sporting activities such as football, basketball, races, tug-of-war, egg races, and a dance competition. Beyond the excitement, the event serves a deeper purpose, promoting understanding, empathy, and social cohesion among young people, while driving a positive shift in public perception of persons with disabilities.
“This initiative reflects our founder’s lifelong commitment to inclusion, leveraging the unifying power of sports to demonstrate that teamwork, empathy, and shared purpose transcend physical ability. We aim to promote a culture where inclusion is not an act of charity but a collective value, and where every participant is recognized and celebrated for their contribution to society,” says Segun Caulcrick, Executive Director, EOCF.
