Join the Winner’s Circle by pledging your support to Special Olympics Indiana!

Through a wide variety of year-round sports, health, education, and leadership programs, Special Olympics Indiana works every day to use the power of sport as a catalyst for social change, opening hearts and minds toward people with intellectual disabilities and creating inclusive communities across the state. The organization receives no federal or state-appropriated funds, is not a United Way Agency, and relies entirely on corporate, civic and individual donations in order to provide year-round training and competition opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

And although our ability to host in-person events has been severely impacted by the ongoing public health crisis, volunteers and staff remain hard at work every day finding new and creative ways to engage the vulnerable population who relies on us for structure and support. Your donation or pledge of any amount will help to ensure that Special Olympics athletes across the state will continue to find opportunities to reach their fullest potential in the future, both on the playing field and off.
