With an annual gift of $200 per athlete, you can choose to support one Special Olympics North Carolina athlete or 100!

Gifts for the Sponsor an Athlete program are used to pay for equipment, uniforms, traveling expenses (food, lodging and transportation), facility rentals and to provide new, innovative programs for the athletes. Since athletes are never charged a fee to compete, your support is greatly needed.

Persons with intellectual disabilities involved in Special Olympics North Carolina participate as athletes, coaches, officials, public speakers, staff and volunteers.  Their participation in Special Olympics allows them to gain respect and acceptance.  Special  Olympics gives each athlete the opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and share their unique talents with family, friends and the community.

For more information or to Sponsor An Athlete contact, Olivia Laney, sr. vice president of finance and resource development at olaney@sonc.net or at 800-843-6276 ext. 107.
