Presenting the 2024 Athlete Fund

Hi there! 

First things first: Thank you to everyone who completed their 2024 Special Olympics Supporter Survey! Submissions are still rolling in, but I wanted to share one key result that stood out to us:

99% of our survey respondents want to see MORE brave athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) to get off the sidelines in 2024 compared to last year.

We couldn’t endorse this goal enough – and we’re so excited that the overwhelming majority of our thoughtful survey takers are ready to see MORE games and competitions, MORE life-changing community and acceptance, and MORE Special Olympics in 2024! 

So we’re not waiting to make that a reality. Today we are proud to announce our 2024 Athlete Fund in response to the 99% of Special Olympics supporters who know that millions of people with ID are still sitting on the sidelines when they should have the equal chance to train, compete, and thrive. 

If you’re with us and ready to start 2024 off with a gift to support fearless Special Olympics athletes, donate to our 2024 Athlete Fund. A gift of $20 can help put a new basketball in the hands of an athlete, a gift of $65 can train an athlete for a whole year, and ANY gift you make today can touch the life of a person with ID waiting for their shot:
