Through successful sports training and competition, Special Olympics athletes develop physically, socially, and psychologically. The positive experiences that the athletes have in ongoing Special Olympics programs build confidence and self-image which carries over into all aspects of their lives. Inc. All funds to organize and implement the County Program are donated by businesses, corporations, civic, fraternal and woman's clubs and citizens county-wide. These contributions help pay for athletes' state games assessment fees, materials, equipment, supplies, transportation, housing, food, uniforms and training programs for athletes and coaches. The County Management Team meets monthly to advise in program development and financial accountability and implement the year-round Special Olympics events.
Membership is open to interested individuals who want to volunteer their time and expertise.
