Victory Day — Celebrating Inclusion, Teamwork, and Triumph!

Join us on July 31 for Victory Day 2025, a heartwarming and action-packed event that brings together individuals supported by GRCS Inclusion Services and GRCHS athletes for a shared day of fun, friendship, and football! The event will take place at Eagles Stadium from 5:30 pm -7 pm. 

Each Victory Day participant will be paired with a GRC football player or cheerleader, who will serve as their partner and teammate throughout the event. Participants will receive their own Victory Day t-shirt, making them a proud part of the team.

The event will begin with Team Victory lining up on the 5-yard line for the national anthem. Then, in a powerful moment of unity and celebration, the announcer will call Team Victory to take the field—running through a tunnel of cheering fans from the 10- to the 50-yard line.

A mock coin toss will kick off the inclusive football fun, where each participant will have the chance to run the ball or catch a pass for a touchdown, with exciting play-by-play announcements highlighting every move. When not on the field, participants can rotate through a variety of engaging activities designed for all abilities.

Every participant will be honored with a medal to celebrate their achievements and commemorate their day of victory.

Families are invited to stay for complimentary hot dogs and drinks, courtesy of the Eagles Athletic Boosters. A photographer will be on-site to capture the unforgettable moments, and families and fans are welcome on the field for photos.

The celebration doesn’t end there! Families are also invited to the GRC vs. South Christian football game on August 29, where our Victory Day participants will be recognized and celebrated during the event.

Victory Day is more than a game—it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the belief that everyone belongs on the field.
