Be a Supporter
Join our community and help to create a more inclusive world
Your Impact
We work hard to maximize your investment. For every $1 raised on behalf of the athletes, 91 cents goes directly to program costs. Programs are free to the athletes and their families, so donations are critical to our program. Examples of program expenses include equipment, uniforms, transportation, facility fees, background screening costs, official’s fees and more.
Get Involved.
Change Lives!
Whether you give time, money, corporate support or other gifts, your generosity makes our programs possible for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Your Support Matters
Special Olympics Northern California relies on our friends in the community to keep life-changing programs free for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. We offer year-round training and competitions in 11 different sports, inclusive schools programs, health screenings and resources, and leadership classes.
Through Special Olympics, people with intellectual disabilities make friends, gain confidence and are empowered to reach for their dreams. Thank you for your interest in supporting athletes like Louis!
I didn’t do sports in school. I felt that I wasn’t worthy because of my disability. Special Olympics is a lifestyle that I love to be a part of. I don’t know where I’d be today if it wasn’t for Special Olympics.
– Louis, Special Olympics NorCal Athlete
