Friend ––

Did you know October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month? Down syndrome is one of the most common types of intellectual disabilities (ID) and this month we’re raising awareness about the condition and advocating for acceptance. 

With your help, we can shatter stereotypes, get athletes off the sidelines, and show the world that people with ID help others just as much as others help them. 

From the playing field to the schoolroom and the workplace, your gift today will support the inclusion of people with Down syndrome during Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

Along with our 5.7 million athletes, Special Olympics athletes with Down syndrome have opened the world’s eyes to what people with ID CAN do, with the right resources. Let’s make sure we get even more of them the opportunities, training, and support they need to succeed.

Your gift today to Special Olympics helps ensure a brighter future for people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.

Thanks for your support!
