Hi there,
July is a very special time of year for my family.
It's when we gather (or, this year, virtually gather) to share stories of my mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who would've turned 99 this month. I love reminiscing with my siblings about how she instilled faith and hard work in us. I love telling my kids about her passion for equality and restless dissatisfaction with the status quo. And I love that today, her fight against injustice in this world still matters to people like you and me.
To celebrate my mother's legacy and 52 years of Special Olympics, our Founding Partner, The Coca-Cola Company, is giving you a limited-time match opportunity! When you donate $10 it will be DOUBLED to support people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and help build a world where everyone is treated fairly. Donate before midnight tomorrow to match your gift >>

In these days of change and hardship, I hear my mother's voice. I remember her advocating for equality and acceptance of people with ID. I see her combating any injustice -- no matter how small -- and leading a worldwide movement for inclusion. I remember her turning anger into action and frustration into a commitment to promoting dignity and respect.
From the start of Special Olympics, we have valued a world where everyone who works hard gets a fair chance. That has never been more true than during this difficult year. It is my goal, and the goal of everyone at Special Olympics, to never be satisfied until everyone is treated with the dignity they deserve. But we need support from people like you, Friend,to keep our fight for a fairer world moving forward.
Please, take advantage of this match before midnight tomorrow to DOUBLE your impact for people with ID and strengthen our movement for justice.
Give $10 = $20 >> [link removed]
We're in this fight together,
Tim Shriver
Chairman, Special Olympics
