We believe in the power of sports to bring people together, to inspire individuals, and to change lives. With just one more lap in the pool, one more mile on the bike, or one more set at the bench. Special Olympics athletes work hard every day to become the best version of themselves. 

Just like Jaqueline Mason. 

Before Special Olympics, Jacqueline was reclusive and too frightened to make eye contact. But today? She’s thriving! She is energetic, confident, and outgoing. Her coach and friend Mary Jane says "It's just amazing the Special Olympics has given her this opportunity to flourish. The change is dazzling.”

You help make transformations like this possible. It costs $85 to train an athlete year-round, just like Jacqueline. You have the power to make a difference and start a transformation. Are you in?

Your support is so powerful. When you give $85 today, your donation could provide year-long support to Jen, who is training to score a hole-in-one, or Morgan who is going over new flag football plays with his team, or Tyrone, who is ready to break his home-run record this softball season.

It could also help a person with an intellectual disability (ID) find the Special Olympics community for the first time. Either way, your gift could be the thing that changes a person’s life forever!
