For 50 years, Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) has used the power of sports to transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and unite everyone by fostering community and building a more acceptable and civil society.
The Special Olympics experience fills a critical need in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for physical activity, social interaction, and the demonstration of competence to themselves, their families and the community. Athletes learn developmental and life skills as the benefits of participation translate beyond sports, helping them to live more independent and rewarding lives. Special Olympics also provides a positive venue for families, volunteers, and donors to become part of a caring community, and to become involved in the movement.
Funds raised from the Beaver Stadium Run will have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of individuals with intellectual disabilities!
Your donation supports free year-round competition and training for the athletes of Pennsylvania. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of many.
