Hey there! My name is Dale Moss, and I’ve been a Special Olympics superfan since I was a kid. That’s because of my big sister Amber, a retired Special Olympics South Dakota athlete, who also happens to be my favorite person in the world! Â
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, the BIGGEST day for giving back all year. As one of Special Olympics’ Global Ambassadors, I’m humbled and honored to ask on behalf of this life-changing and one-of-a-kind organization: Will you donate for Giving Tuesday to help reach our $300,000 goal for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID)? Every gift will be 2X MATCHED!!
I consider myself one lucky guy. Of all the hats (and helmets) I’ve been fortunate enough to wear over the years – NFL player, actor/model/host, inclusion activist – none has ever topped being a brother.Â
Growing up, my four sisters and I didn’t have much. We’d literally dig in the couch cushions for coins to fill up the car’s gas tank. But when I would watch my sister Amber from the stands competing in Special Olympics track and field, when I saw the self-confidence, friendships, and sheer joy these games brought her, I knew there was reason for HOPE.Â
Special Olympics changed Amber’s life, my family’s life, and my life. And in my capacity as a Global Ambassador, traveling the world to promote more acceptance and access in sports, I’ve seen how many families are just like mine and how many athletes with ID are just like Amber.
These fearless athletes need THEIR chance to get in the game, too! I know this community believes in that mission, so what do you say? Will you donate ahead of Giving Tuesday and see your incredible generosity matched dollar-for-dollar? Make TWICE the impact now for people with ID like my sister →
I’ll always be grateful to Special Olympics. And no matter what else comes my way in this life, I’ll always be Amber’s little brother, a brother to my other sisters and closest friends, and a part of the Special Olympics family. Because family is everything. ❤️
Thank you for supporting Special Olympics this Giving Tuesday!
Dale Moss
Special Olympics Global Ambassador
