A basketball is a powerful thing. It can bring joy, spark friendship, empower a leader.

We’re soooo close to meeting our goal of putting 1,000 basketballs in the hands of athletes. But we need your help by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to beat the buzzer!

I’m reviewing our records for your Halftime Report, can you check your stats to make sure this is correct?

Your gift combined with the donations of countless others will give Special Olympics athletes everything they need to play, compete and win. Let's keep the ball rolling toward a brighter future!

You're our MVP,

Manager, Donor Relations & Data Systems

Can you believe we’re almost halfway through 2024?!

Looking back, we hope you’re proud. Because of Special Olympics supporters just like you, we’ve already had an unforgettable six months of games, competitions, friendships, and the one-of-a-kind magic that our inclusive sports and teams make possible. 

Looking ahead, are you ready to make a BIG impact for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) BEFORE the end of the year? Celebrate 2024’s halftime report by pledging to get 1,000 basketballs into the hands of athletes this year! Donate now to chip into the goal >>

We’re excited about getting as many athletes and teams onto the basketball court in 2024 as we can, so we put together this personalized basketball “calculator” so you can see your real-time impact:

A $20 basketball can be a priceless gift for an athlete with ID, a piece of equipment that becomes a part of their life. With every dribble, their confidence advances. With every pass, their teamwork skills grow. With every basket, their excellence shines through – and inspires the next athlete with ID to dream big!

Let’s help every athlete with ID who wants a chance to shine. Help reach our 1,000 basketball goal before the end-of-month deadline!

Thanks for your support. You’re the best.

🧡, Special Olympics
