We are celebrating our anniversary today with an ambitious goal: raise $55,000 this Giving Day to honor 55 years of Special Olympics. 

What’s our mission during this Giving Day (and all year round)? It’s clear –– support people with intellectual disabilities (ID) so they can show the world they are talented, athletic, and deserve to be treated as equals.

We’re asking donors to chip in and help us reach our goal of raising $55,000 by making a MATCHED gift. Here’s where you stand. Can we count on you?

Help twice as many athletes succeed on and off the field with your DOUBLED gift today, thanks to a match from our Founding Partner, The Coca-Cola Company. Every dollar helps people with intellectual disabilities discover the life-changing power of sports.

Let’s continue to change millions of lives, TOGETHER,

🥳 Special Olympics turns 55 TODAY! 🥳

We’re celebrating and saluting every single Special Olympics athlete with our annual Giving Day and a 2X match from our Founding Partner, The Coca-Cola Company. Give now to help reach our $55,000 one-day goal and see your gift have TWICE the impact for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID)!

One outstanding young athlete we couldn’t be prouder of lately is Taylor. Not only did Taylor win TWO gold medals in swimming at this summer’s World Games in Berlin… Not only was Taylor one of the youngest swimmers at the Berlin Games… 

But Taylor has also been an amazing teammate and friend, persevered when times weren’t easy, and no doubt inspired other individuals with ID to dream, excel, and overcome. As sweet as the gold medals can be, Taylor says… 

“To have the support and love from my teammates and coaches, all the cheering that I’ve heard in the water, the ‘Go Taylor’...I could not have done it without them.”

Help bring more joyful spirits like Taylor into Special Olympics. Help honor our 55 years of supporting athletes with ID and creating life-changing opportunities to play, compete, and find the joy and empowerment of sports. Donate before midnight to help twice as many athletes get in the game with our 2X MATCH from The Coca-Cola Company!

Thank you for 55 inspiring years!
