 * In every corner of the earth, Special Olympics is changing the lives of
   people with intellectual disabilities. These stories come from all around the
   world
    * CHEERS FOR CHAMPIONS!
    * 50 Game Changers ESPN and Special Olympics have teamed up on a year-long
      storytelling initiative telling the stories of game changers and game
      changing moments toward inclusion. Check back each week for a new story of
      inclusion.
    * 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.

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 sports 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?
