There are no costs to the athlete or their family for participation in any Special Olympics activity. Each County is responsible for raising its own funds. All of our staff are volunteers, and virtually all money raised goes directly toward athlete training and program development.
Our athletes range in age from 8 to 60+. Each has untapped potential just waiting to come out through sports training. Our athletes develop confidence in themselves and learn to overcome obstacles, to be everything they can be.
