Special Olympics Kansas’s mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for persons with intellectual disabilities. Sport is a powerful force. It can shift the focus from disability to ability, from isolation to involvement, from exclusion to inclusion. It teaches teamwork, instills compassion, and builds leaders. With your help, we have the power to transform lives. Families find support. Lifelong friendships are formed. Social skills are developed. Independence is achieved. Lives are changed.
