It’s time to get freezin’ for a reason for Special Olympics Colorado’s 2019 Polar Plunge Series! Special Olympics Colorado serves 25,093 athletes with intellectual disabilities throughout the state. Volunteers are the heartbeat of Special Olympics Colorado. More than 13,000 volunteers engage with our athletes and have the opportunity to Donate today to help end discrimination against individuals with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformation power and joy of sports, every day around Using sports as a catalyst and programming around health and education, Special Olympics is fighting inactivity, injustice and intolerance. As a result, people with intellectual disabilities become accepted and valued members of their communities, which leads to a more respectful and inclusive society for all. Special Olympics is still the largest sports organization in the world serving over 4.2 million people with intellectual disabilities worldwide. And sports are still the core of what we do. But, our athletes inspire us to continue to evolve as an organization as they tell us their stories and share their dreams for the future. Today we use sports as a catalyst to help enhance the growth for all people who participate and compete with Special Olympics. Because of your support, the organization has made a meaningful difference in the life of every athlete who participates. As a recognized best practice for non-profits in Colorado, we ensure that every dollar is spent wisely. BUILDING COMMUNITIES and DEVELOPING LEADERS is primarily happening at a young age when youth are most impacted by socialization. We know our Special Olympics Unified programs are working because it’s in the numbers: An average athlete visits 50 different physicians with little, if any, results. If these health issues are untreated as minor illnesses they disciplines and have conducted over 1.2 million health screenings globally.
