The Mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of well-coached, Olympic-type sports for persons with Intellectual Disabilities providing them with continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness and prepare for entry into school and community sport programs. Athletes experience courage, sharpen their skills, and enjoy new friendships with other Special Olympic Athletes, volunteers, and the community. Special Olympics dwells on what these athletes CAN do, not what they can’t do. It is truly a moving experience to watch an athlete perform their best and meet their personal goal. Sometimes we lose a handle on the real world, and seeing these athletes brings us back to what sharing, giving, and happiness is all about.

The Special Olympics Athlete’s Oath is one that we should all live by...
“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

Special Olympics Collier County appreiates the support from our local sponsors. We thank you all!
