Stanion Golf Classic

Partnering with Special Olympics Kansas supports thousands of athletes.

Special Olympics Kansas is proud to partner with Stanion Wholesale Electric, whose ongoing commitment to our mission shines through this annual golf tournament. Each year, the Stanion team brings together community members, supporters, and vendors for a day of fun and fundraising—raising thousands of dollars to support athletes with intellectual disabilities across Kansas. Their long-standing support not only fuels year-round programming but also helps create life-changing opportunities through the power of sport. We’re grateful for Stanion’s leadership, generosity, and continued belief in the potential of every athlete.

Together, we achieve. Thank you for being part of our One Team

In June, Team Kansas will represent our state at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games — competing against thousands of athletes from across the country. For many, it’s the biggest moment of their athletic career.

But here’s the reality: getting our team to Minnesota doesn’t happen without serious community support. Travel, uniforms, equipment, meals, and competition fees add up fast. Every dollar raised goes directly toward making sure our athletes can focus on one thing — competing their hearts out.
