Donate Today
When you donate to Special Olympics, you’re helping to support over 30 Olympic-style individual and team sports to provide meaningful training and competition opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities ranging in age from 2 to 99! Special Olympics delivers high-quality training and competition in an inclusive culture through Unified Sports, which allows for people with and without intellectual disabilities to play on the same field.
This premise for all Special Olympics sports is strengthened from partnerships with International Sport Federations, social inclusion opportunities through Unified Schools, as well as opportunities to develop basic skills at age 2 through Young Athletes program.
