It could start with a basketball. Or an initial lap around the pool. Sometimes it starts with a simple handshake. 

Whatever the first moment might be, when people with intellectual disabilities (ID) join Special Olympics, they are embarking on a journey that lasts a lifetime. 

There are millions of athletes still waiting for the opportunity to take that first step on their journey. To reach them all, we need your support – not just once – but every month. Monthly donors stay with athletes on every step of the journey, every month, all year long. Right now, when you start your monthly contribution today, your first gift will be MATCHED $1 for $1.

Spreading your support throughout the year means that you can better plan your budget — when we can count on your steadfast support every month, we can dream bigger, giving more athletes the opportunity to shine on and off the field! 

Each supporter and every donation means that more people with ID can find a community where they feel included, celebrated, and empowered to inspire us. And here is how that happens:

- A $15 monthly gift means three athletes can have everything they need to train 365 days a year. Start today >> [link removed]

- A $30 monthly gift helps people with intellectual disabilities access life-changing health screenings every single month. Start today >> [link removed]

- A $50 monthly gift helps train volunteers to become incredible Special Olympics coaches who give back to athletes and their communities year after year. Start today >> [link removed]

No one knows what the future will hold – every day athletes break barriers by becoming gold medalists, coaches, activists – but what we do know is that supporting Special Olympics all year long means that more athletes can get off the sidelines and onto the field, so they start, and continue, their journey. 

Let’s go,
