Fund-raising & Donations

In 1968, Special Olympics invited the world to let go of limiting views, prejudices and misconceptions about people with intellectual disabilities and embrace the idea that they can be respected, valued, contributing members of society.

There is no charge to Special Olympics athletes to participate in the movement. Individual donors, corporate partners and many others make it possible for Special Olympics New York to offer children and adults with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy through participation in the program.

For every family with a family member who has intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics is a symbol of hope. In order to provide these services, Special Olympics New York holds fund-raisers, accepts a variety of donations, grants and corporate sponsorships.

From 1969 to today, the Special Olympics New York movement includes more than 40,000 athletes who train and compete in 22 sports. Despite that growth, the Special Olympics movement touches just a small percentage of people in New York with intellectual disabilities.
