Our shared mission at Special Olympics is centered around inclusion. But how does a big movement to include and build a better future start? Well, it starts small –– one person at a time.

It starts with our founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, in a backyard where she hosted a summer camp for people with intellectual disabilities (ID). It starts with the smile of a Special Olympics athlete who just scored his first soccer goal. It starts with incredible supporters, like you, saying ‘no’ to fear and discrimination and ‘YES!’ to creating a world where everyone is accepted.

To kick off Inclusion Week, we’ve set an ambitious goal to help 1,921 new Special Olympics athletes know the power of inclusion and access life-changing opportunities to realize their full potential! When you donate $60, your gift will be DOUBLED to help 2 athletes train for an entire year. That's an incredible impact!

We set our Inclusion Week goal of 1,921 new athletes because 1921 –– 100 years ago –– is when Eunice Kennedy Shriver was born. She fought for justice and equal opportunities for people with ID. She saw potential, talent, and capabilities few others did. She helped change hearts and minds by choosing to include.

Today our teams from your state and around the world carry on her vision for inclusion, but there is still so much more work to be done to get even more people with ID off the sidelines and into the game. 

That’s why this 2X MATCH and your action today are so important. Make a gift now to see your impact go twice as far for new athletes >>
Let’s reach this goal!
