What does it take to make Special Olympics work?

     
Think of Special Olympics as a moving circle made up of three parts.  Each part pushes the one next to it, to propel it and to make it successfully move forward.  In Special Olympics, the three parts consist of:
     
     
  Three parts, each helping each other.  
     
     
     

ATHLETES

Athletes in Special Olympics strive for the opportunity to train and compete in sports, increasing their physical well-being, their self-esteem as well as being a part of the community while enhancing the lives of others.

     
     

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers teach the athletes the skills needed to help them achieve their dream of competing in sports as they themselves gain a sense of accomplishment while forging life-long friendships.

     
     

DONORS

Donors provide the financial assistance that enables the the sports training programs and competitions to be offered, helping the others to achieve their goals, while gaining a larger community presence. 

     
     

Each part, working together, enhances the other parts
while in the process, enhancing itself.
