Help us put 1,000 new basketballs into the hands of athletes!

A single basketball might seem like a small gift, but it’s huge in the lives of Special Olympics athletes. Playing on a team gives athletes confidence that goes off the court and helps spark a new world of possibilities. 

Special Olympics New Hampshire athlete Becky May is the perfect example. To her, it’s about more than sports, it’s about friendship, making memories, and being a role model for the younger generation. 

For nearly four decades, Becky has excelled in a wide range of sports – from softball to track to bocce. And last year, she was chosen to be a member of the first-ever all-women 3v3 basketball team at the USA Games – and even took home a bronze medal! Becky is a force to be reckoned with, a true champion who embodies the spirit of Special Olympics and inspires us all to reach for the stars.

Today we’re asking supporters like you to pitch in to help get 1,000 NEW BASKETBALLS into the hands of athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID). Can you help us reach this goal to change more lives like Becky’s?

Your donation today will help get someone off the sidelines so they can experience the transformative power of sports. Every basketball will help change the life of the athletes that picks it up, just like Becky, thanks to supporters just like you.

Every Special Olympics story is different, but there’s one thing connects them all: the joy of the game. That's why we’re helping get more life-changing basketballs – 1,000 of them! – into the hands of more athletes with ID. Are you with us?

You shoot, they score.
