Hi there,

Take just one look at Special Olympics athlete Jonny Pierce’s painting (it’s featured above) and you can tell he’s not just painting medals. There’s self-assurance in his work. Boldness. A whole story built from color, experience, and the joy of play.

Jonny might be a record-breaking competitive swimmer, but the way he paints tells you just as much about him as the way he moves through the pool. His beautiful art reminds us that Special Olympics is more than sports. It’s confidence. It’s authentic expression. It’s athletes with intellectual disabilities proudly showing the world who they are in every way they choose!

We’re down to two days left in 2025, and your tax-deductible gift is still being matched 3X by our Founding Partner, the Coca-Cola Company. If you want to help more athletes find the same type of pride Jonny brings to every stroke – on the canvas and in the pool – this is your chance to be a part of greatness. Multiply your impact today >>> 

Here’s to closing out the year with heart and helping our athletes step into 2026 feeling proud and ready.

We’re SO glad you’re here with us.
