Special Olympics Ireland is a sports organisation for people with an intellectual disability. They also provide their athletes with far more than the physical benefits of sport. Special Olympics changes lives.
Through sport, athletes develop both physically and emotionally, they make new friends, realise their dreams, and know they can fit in.
Achieve and Win in Sport and Life
Involvement enables their athletes to achieve and win not only in sport but in life too. In order to help continue the work of the organisation it relies on its volunteers and supporters. They ask you, where you can, to join a fundraising event or organise your own. Special Olympics Ireland are looking for volunteers for tomorrow as well as businesses and individuals to host coffee mornings. Any assistance you can offer Special Olympics on April 22nd would be greatly appreciated.
If you need help or advise in organising your own event, you’re invited to contact Lynda on 085 80 53 242. For more on Munster Special Olympics please click on the link here: http://www.specialolympics.ie/GETINVOLVED/MUNSTER.aspx
