Hope is the first thing that Special Olympics gave Sherri and Joe.

Their daughter Macy was born with Down syndrome and they immediately knew the challenges she would face and worried people would treat her differently.

But when they saw other children with intellectual disabilities (ID) playing, learning, and winning with Special Olympics, they knew they could dream big.

Will you raise your hand and say you’ll give hope to parents that their children with ID can achieve anything?

Your support is a powerful way to give families love, support, and acceptance. It shows athletes that we have their backs too. And it’s a powerful display of hope for a world where we see people first, not disability.

Please be a ray of hope for parents and athletes. Raise your hand ✋and say you’ll support Special Olympics families.
