About Special Olympics Texas:

Today, with 36,311 athletes, offering 22 sports at more than 250 competitions, Special Olympics Texas is one of the largest Special Olympics programs in the world. More than 41 years after the start of the movement, the perception of people with intellectual disabilities has changed tremendously. Our athletes are celebrated for their abilities, not humiliated because of their disabilities. Special Olympics athletes in Texas hold leadership roles within the organization with two athlete representatives serving on the Board of Directors. Our athletes compete internationally and nationally, race in city triathlons, play in community recreational leagues in basketball and softball, have been guests at the White House and Governor's Mansion, and have even carried the Olympic Torch. Through years of service by dedicated volunteers, partners, donors, family members, athletes and staff, Special Olympics Texas changes lives. But the challenge is still ahead for us - for every athlete that participates in our program, there are 16 people in the state of Texas with intellectual disabilities who do not.
