OGI has always been more than just a sports competition. It’s a celebration of Italian heritage, a showcase of community spirit, and a platform for fostering lifelong friendships. Thanks to the tireless efforts of individuals like Vic Heissl, Les Rickard, and countless others, OGI has become a cornerstone event that will continue to inspire future generations. The legacy of the games; rooted in inclusivity, camaraderie, and fair play; lives on in every race, every cheer, and every handshake.
