Dear Friend,

My name is Novie Craven. I’m a Special Olympics gold medalist in bocce, a coordinator for the Special Olympics Marketing Development team, and the host of the Inclusion Revolution Radio podcast. And I love the community I found at Special Olympics — everyone is so kind and helpful! Right away, I was welcomed with open arms. 

Everyone with intellectual disabilities (ID) should have the chance to feel inspired and connected by this community. But right now, too many of my friends and teammates are waiting on the sidelines for their chance to play. So I'm asking you to help out, especially because of this very special 2X MATCH, and get them back on field with your gift >>

I have played sports my whole life. But, sometimes, people excluded me because of my disabilities. It made me very lonely. I was beginning to lose hope — but then I found the awesome people at Special Olympics who helped me connect with other athletes with disabilities and once again play the sports I love. It was a game-changer!

When you donate today your $25​ will become $50​, and will mean that TWICE as many eager and ambitious athletes will be able to get back to achieving their dreams. So, will you help me by making a 2X matched donation today?

Thanks for being a part of our community, 

Novie Craven
Marketing and Development Coordinator, Special Olympics
