Hi {{FirstName or 'there'}},

Every single day, Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport — and we couldn't do it without you. Your generosity has enabled us to support over five million athletes worldwide.

Because of your past support, we want to make sure you are up to date on all the ways Special Olympics athletes are fighting for inclusion every day. That fight is more relevant now than ever. People with intellectual disabilities (ID) of all ages, races, genders, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities continue to face discrimination, ignorance, and disparagement. Our athletes take on new challenges, gain new confidence, and open others' hearts and minds to people with ID.

To help you understand a bit more about what we mean, we wanted to share one of our favorite videos. It shows just how incredible the world can be when we all work together. Click here to watch the video now!

The Special Olympics mission remains as vital today as it was when Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded our organization in 1968. We've reached millions of athletes worldwide, but there are as many as 200 million people with intellectual disabilities around the world.

We want to reach out to every one of them — and their families and communities — to bring them into our movement. And we couldn't do it without you.

We're so glad you're part of the team,

Shira Mitchell
Sr. Vice President, Development
Special Olympics
