Ann’s Choice Hosts Olympic Games on Campus

Let the games begin! On May 4, Ann’s Choice, an Erickson Living Retirement Community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, commenced its version of the Olympics with a torch relay and a festive opening ceremony.

The Ann’s Choice Chorus opened the event with a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem, followed by a warm welcome from Executive Director Chris Donati.

Immediately following the ceremony, nine residents participated in a Rubber Duck Race in the pool to raise money for the community’s Scholars Fund. The fund supports the educational aspirations of the young men and women who work in the community’s restaurants. The residents formed a chain in the pool with swim noodles and pushed more than 200 ducks, sponsored by residents and staff, to the other end. The first three ducks were the winners.

The Olympic events will be held throughout May and June and include water volleyball, shuffleboard, bocce, tennis, ping pong, billiards, putting green, and more.

"Residents really enjoy our annual Olympic Games,” said Fitness Specialist Ellen Book-O'Neill. “It brings residents together for exercise, socializing, and fun.”
