• About Special Olympics

Special Olympics Virginia is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. We serve nearly 9,500 athletes throughout the Commonwealth. Thanks to a statewide volunteer network of more than 20,000 and the support of generous partners throughout Virginia, athletes pay nothing to participate. And with nearly 2,000 events annually, including six state-level competitions and numerous extreme fundraisers like the Polar Plunge, we invite everyone to join us in our mission to open hearts and change minds about people with intellectual disabilities.
