6 teams of 6 players each trying to win a bunch of silly and non skillful games while also raising as much money as they can for local charities. Oh and it's held at GL Heritage Microbrewery! What's not to love?
Saturday September 26th
11:30pm-4:30pm (ish…)
GL Heritage Brewing Co.
How it works…
1) Sign up, join a team.
Be brave and sign up for something silly and fun with your friends, or even better, you may even sign up solo and make some delightful new friends! 6 players per team with a first sign up, first reserve basis.
(We’ll do our best, but no guarantee you’ll be on the same team!)
2) Raise as much money as you and your team can.
Remember this isn’t just about you having fun for the day, ask friends and family if they’ll sponsor you and your team in hope of winning The Silly Olympics!
3) Enjoy the day.
Set on the grounds of a beautiful micro brewery, you’ll be serenaded by live music, stuffed by yummy local food, thirst quenched by the hosts’ tasty beer. You’ll be stretched pre and post games by local yoga guru and local massage therapists.
4) Feel good knowing you’ve helped others.
Our happiness levels literally increase when we help others. So aside from all the fun and games, you’ll feel an extra little cherry of happiness on top knowing you’ve made a little difference locally.
What are The Silly Olympics?
Welcome to The Silly Olympics; where 6 teams compete against each other in silly activities, all while raising as much as they can for local Windsor Essex charities.
Remember those good old sports days where you’d compete in the egg and spoon race, sack race, three legged races? Well, we’re bringing that nostalgia back and we’re hosting it at GL Heritage Brewing Co.
Saturday September 26th
11:30pm - 4:30pm
GL Heritage Brewing Co.
$60 ticket per person
6 players per team
The festivities extend beyond the competition, with pre-game Silly Stretch Yoga from Sarah Fischer, live music from Bethany D'Alimonte, local food from Frate Street Food, post-game mini-massages from local RMTs and plenty of room for spectators to cheer from the sidelines. The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society will also be on site with a pet adopt-a-thon, merchandise and information about volunteer opportunities.
Whether you assemble a team, sign up solo, volunteer (we'd love your help!), or simply come out to cheer, the goal is the same: have a lot of laughs while doing some good right here in Windsor-Essex.

OUR COLLABORATORS
But, why?
We all want to do more to help others but do we really make the time or effort? No, us neither. And that's ok, it doesn't make you (or us) a bad person. Life gets busy and other priorities fill our time. And then we simply forget.
The Silly Olympics was created for this exact reason. Help others without realizing it. Making a difference to your local community, helping others in need and making it easier for you. So easy you don’t even notice!
The Silly Olympics is a collection of silly and fun games that anyone can play as the skills required are not based on strength, agility or fitness. They are based on teamwork, determination, inclusivity and of course, silliness.
We have selected two local Windsor Essex charities to donate to for this event. (Because picking one was too difficult…)
This year’s local charities are:
And the Games?
Egg and Spoon Race
Sack Race
Hula Hoop it up the hill and back
Water Bucket Relay
Dribble soccer ball while carrying a pint
Giant Jenga
Backyard Twista
And for any tie breakers, there will be;
Tug of War
Fancy volunteering? Let’s work this out together.
Don’t be shy, we can always use more help!
Please fill in this form with all your deets so we can reply back YES WE NEED YOUR HELP (but less needy and obvious of course.)
Thank you.
