In 1978, it was the Pastor of St. Anne’s Parish, Father Patrick Costello’s dream to invite celebrities from the world of sport to our community.

Today, the St. Thomas Sports Spectacular carries on this dream and continues to support local Special Olympics and Community Living Elgin as over $1,000,000 has been raised for a variety of local projects. 

Over the years, the annual guest lists have reflected an impressive array of professional and amateur athletes, past and present, who have left capacity audiences totally entertained.  To get a flavour of the impact it has and what it's like to be there in person, please check out this video.

​

The St. Thomas Sports Spectacular is one of the largest events in the City and is organized and run by a dedicated committee of volunteers with a variety of backgrounds and reasons for taking part in this incredible cause.  The committee members are Sean Dyke, Dan Kelly, Brent Lale, Mike Sunderland, Paul Johnson, Tom Johnston, Jamie O'Brien, Jeff Jenkins, Walt Molinaro, Paul Jenkins and Jeff Wood.  

Any one of these committee members will gladly answer any questions or sell you a ticket to the event. For general enquiries, please send email to stthomassportsspectacular@gmail.com.
