We know sports — including virtual fitness programs — can be a catalyst for change for athletes like Alex. 

When the pandemic began, Alex was anxious and lonely. His powerlifting and bowling practices were cancelled. He wasn’t surrounded by the Special Olympics community that had embraced him and given him purpose. He missed his routine, his friends, and the joy of sports.

Thanks to the support of people like you, we were able to move quickly and reach athletes like Alex in new ways during this difficult time. We started virtual events and trainings, like recurring remote fitness classes, to help athletes stay in shape and connect with each other.

These virtual programs have helped ease the anxiety and loneliness for athletes during the pandemic. Now, we need your support to keep them strong until Alex and the millions of other Special Olympics athletes around the world can return to play –– all it takes is a gift of $25 and two minutes of your time.

Your donation to the Spring Athlete Fund helps keep our virtual programs up and running and helps us plan for in-person events once it’s safe again. Now let’s reach this $5,000 goal together!
