The program is much more than an athletic one. It teaches many life lesson to the intellectually challenged. How to take directions form othe than parent, the value of team work,how skills can improve if you practice and work at, the way to deal with winning and more importantly how to deal with losing.
Review from Guidestar
The impact that Special Olympics Kansas has on the lives of its constituents and their families is immeasurable. There are too many stories to list where the families and athletes have had dramatic, life-changing experiences that would not have been possible but for the activities, socialization, and experiences provided by Special Olympics Kansas. Our athletes remind us at every competition through their attitudes and effort what it means to be brave in the face of challenging circumstances. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to provide services aimed at improving the lives of our athletes, including atheltics, health and wellness, and inclusion. I am proud to be a Board Member of such a fantastic organization and invite you to become involved as well!
