🏊‍♂️ @specialolympicsarizona athletes Max and Ronnie were LIVING THE DREAM! Hanging out with @m_phelps00 was surreal, but getting swimming pointers from him? Unreal! Thank you, Michael Phelps, for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our athletes to learn from the GOAT! #specialolympics #inclusionrevolution

Special Olympics isn’t just about winning medals; it’s about growing together as a community. Whether you’re an athlete, a proud family member, a dedicated coach, or an invaluable official, your support system matters more than you know. We celebrate each triumph, uplift each other through challenges, and create moments of joy that transcend boundaries. Let’s continue to grow, inspire, and unite through the power of #InclusionRevolution . Thank you to @m_phelps00 and the @mpfoundation for their continued support. 🏅

Battle of the Badges was a HIT - We raised over $1,300 for the @specialolympics of Oklahoma yesterday! It was such a great time throwing the first pitch with Abby, speaking with The Village community about our new @viridiancoffee in the community, and seeing the Village PD win for the first time in four years! Being apart of the community is what it is all about ❤️💙

As part of an historic @lionsclubs International Convention in Melbourne, the Special Olympics-Lions Clubs International Foundation global partnership celebrated an exciting event, recognizing nine Lions Clubs leaders for their exemplary service to Special Olympics athletes and to the global population of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The inaugural Mission: Inclusion awards highlighted the long-standing commitment of Lions Clubs International to inclusion through service, and was coupled by both a Unified Zumba session and Unified Table Tennis with the @soaustralia athletes and Leos of Australia demonstrating their talent. The Mission: Inclusion event also was honored to welcome LCIF Chairperson Brian Sheehan and Lions Clubs International President Dr. Patti Hill as well as a global cadre of strong supporters who continue to serve as champions of inclusion. #LCIFLions #LionsCon24 #ChooseToInclude #SpecialOlympics

Anita Greco is so in tune with the open water that she calls herself a mermaid. When you watch her swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Como, it is difficult to disagree with that. “I love being here in the open water,” she says. It was this passion for swimming that brought Anita to the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin for a life-changing experience. Her full story in our stories! #SpecialOlympics #Berlin2023 #UnbeatableTogether #ZusammenUnschlagbar Funded by the European Union.
