Impacting Richmond

Special Olympics Virginia is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

The area serves over 800 athletes who participate in 15 sports throughout the year. Special Olympics Virginia-James River Region offers 7 area competitions with an average of 200 athletes and volunteers participating.

Genuine interaction with our athletes inspires volunteers to see things in a new light, assign value differently, and be filled with the Spirit of Special Olympics, which, of course, is the magic of the movement.

Funding from this year’s dodgeball tournament will assist Special Olympics in their efforts to reach more children and adults and enrich their lives through competition and camaraderie.
