CORPORATE GIVING
IMPACT THOUSANDS OF LIVES THROUGH CORPORATE GIVING.
There is something about the thrill of competition. The sweat, the hustle, the effort that comes with doing your best. The joy of victory, the challenge of falling behind, the support of a team and the encouragement of a cheering crowd. Behind it all – there is achievement.
Across the state of Kansas, more than 5,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities participate in events each year – yet our reach goes so much further. Thousands more are touched by the will power of these athletes through volunteering their time, their talents, and their donations. And, in turn, our athletes are inspired by their dedication and support.
Special Olympics Kansas has several ways for companies to show their support for our athletes. From dress down days to a corporate donation, we are able to custom build a package to suit your needs.
