Families Make A Difference
Our families play a critical role in the continued success and growth of Special Olympics Rhode Island. Families are volunteers, coaches, fundraisers, speakers, but most importantly, they are a constant source of support and encouragement for their athlete. Families know first-hand the remarkable difference Special Olympics makes in the lives of their athletes.
At Special Olympics competitions and events, family members are among friends and feel at home. They watch with pride their child, sibling, cousin, grandchild, aunt or uncle find success and joy. They are among people who really understand. Families are the number 1 fans of our athletes. They give the type of love, support and encouragement that no one else can. Special Olympics is a support network that brings families together in a caring, positive way and make the cheers for our athletes even louder.
Families know that Special Olympics gives athletes the self-assurance and belief in their abilities so that they can become an intricate part of their community whether that is at home, at school or in the workplace.
