* Pledge to Include
* Stories of Inclusion Special Olympics and over 5 Million of our athletes
are leading the charge for full inclusion of people with Intellectual
Disabilities (ID). The movement is rooted in the spirit of our founder,
Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who took a rebellious stand against the injustices
faced by people with Intellectual Disabilities in 1968. Today, the fight
for inclusion is more relevant than ever. People of all ages, races,
genders, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities continue to face
discrimination, ignorance, and disparagement. Just as Eunice Kennedy
Shriver did 50 years ago, Special Olympics is setting a stake in the
ground to create change and, this time, our athletes are leading the way.

OUR ORGANIZATION
* About Us
Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover
new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Our athletes inspire people
in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of
human talents and potential.
* Mission The mission of Special Olympics 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 continuing
opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience
joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with
their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
* History From a backyard summer camp for people with intellectual
disabilities to a global movement, Special Olympics has been changing
lives and attitudes since 1968.
* Eunice Kennedy Shriver Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of Special
Olympics, was a pioneer in the worldwide struggle for rights and
acceptance for people with intellectual disabilities.
* Leadership Teams Special Olympics is led by a senior management team with
broad corporate and nonprofit experience. Seven regional offices around
the world are headed up by managing directors who support the ongoing
growth and development of programs in their regions. In addition, Special
Olympics has a Global Athlete Leadership Council which features an Athlete
Leader from each of the seven regions and provides feedback, guidance, and
ideas to the Special Olympics International Board of Directors and
Leadership Team.
* About Intellectual Disabilities Children and adults with intellectual
disabilities inspire us every day at Special Olympics events around the
world. But what are intellectual disabilities?
