People with intellectual disabilities have been mocked, ignored, shunned, and worse throughout history. SOMO organizes sports training & competitions for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Sports & competition aren't the end goal; they are the vehicle to reach the finish line of inclusion & acceptance, & to increase self-worth & confidence of our athletes.
Your support helps us put on more than 300 trainings and competitions every year. It also helps us ensure free health exams & leadership/life skills courses for 16,900+ athletes.

Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere, for people with intellectual disabilities. We serve more than 16,900 of them here in Missouri, but there are more than 100,000 in the state who aren't yet involved in our program. Your donation helps us reach them.
