Our mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them the opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Our goal is that all persons with intellectual disabilities have the chance to become useful and productive citizens who are accepted and respected in their communities.

The benefits for our athletes are tremendous, including improved physical fitness and motor skills, greater self-confidence, friendships, a more positive self-image and increased family support.
