Special Olympics Wisconsin

Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports. It empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities to become accepted and valued members of their communities, leading to a more respectful and inclusive society for all. Using sports as the catalyst as well as programming around health and education, Special Olympics works to end inactivity, injustice and intolerance.

Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) provides year-round sports opportunities to more than 10,000 athletes, of any age and skill level, across the state. With training and competitions in 18 Olympic-style sports our athletes push hard and play harder. They strive to beat their personal bests, defying the odds again and again. From swimming to snowboarding, from the local ball fields to the shining stage of the World Games, our athletes showcase the talents and triumphs of people with intellectual disabilities.
