Special Olympics in Northern Virginiais a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons with intellectual disabilities through sport. We rely on the generosity of the community for financial support as well as volunteer assistance. It is the generosity of a few businesses in Northern Virginia, organizations, and individuals that contribute and support our athletes in Northern Virginia.
When over 13,000 athletes with an intellectual disability swing a bat, kick a ball or race down the slopes, they're not just training for the game - they're training for life. A 1995 Yale University study proved it: our athletes consistently do better at school, at work and at home than their peers not involved in our year-round sports program. Your monetary gift will help our athletes succeed - in competition and in life. Please make checks payable to Special Olympics in Northern Virginia or Special Olympics Area 26.
