Testimonials

“I can be accepted for who I am, and not for my disability. It’s like having a family outside of my family. It has truly changed my life in many different ways. I can honestly say without SO I don’t know where I would be in my life right now.”
Emily Craig, athlete leader from SO PEI
“I found that teaching Special Olympics [made me] more creative as a coach, and to really make skating—I keep coming back to joy—to make the programs joyful for our skaters. No one will learn anything if they’re not having fun."
Julia Chapelski, SO British Columbia Figure Skating Coach
“I think it’s really important to support initiatives that really help people be healthy, have fun, and be competitive. Have a chance to get involved in sports.”
Brenda, donor
