About our Volunteers

There are many ways you can become involved...and Inspire Greatness!

• Name Special Olympics as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, will, or employee payroll deduction.
• Make donations of goods, services, or vital office supplies to local Special Olympics programs.
• Encourage members of your civic groups to volunteer their professional services to Special Olympics programs and events.
