Both of these things are true about Special Olympics, friends:

1. We are transforming lives -- by giving millions of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) the chance to make lifelong friends and be amazing!
2. There is so, so much more left for us to do.

Every day, people with ID are talked down to. They are bullied. They are made to feel as if they amount to less than everyone else. It's infuriating, it's heartbreaking -- and it's easy to help.

Can you chip in $3 or more to help Special Olympics athletes in your community and around the world? A small amount can go further than you think: 10 people giving $3 each can provide an athlete with their very first basketball -- and a shot at a whole new life!

People with ID deserve the chance to shine -- to feel normal (which they are), confident (which they should be), and proud (which they DEFINITELY should be). Your gift helps give them that chance.

Give today, support a Special Olympics athlete, and help us get us one step closer to our goal of reaching every person with intellectual disabilities:
