🗳️ We need your input! 🗳️

As we wrap up 2023 and look ahead to 2024, we’re getting excited for a YEAR OF FIRSTS for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID)! Whether it’s that first medal, the first time trying a new sport, or a first friendship on the field, Special Olympics is here to make those life-changing “firsts” possible – because blazing trails of acceptance and joy is who we are.

No one embodied that Special Olympics spirit quite like our visionary founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver (EKS). EKS believed that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves the equal opportunity to thrive, be included, and experience joy. So we’re asking: What’s your favorite EKS quote? ⬇️ VOTE NOW! ⬇️
