The Champion's Society
In the Olympic tradition of excellence and grandeur, Champion’s Society members are the guardians who protect our athletes’ future. By providing for Special Olympics in their estate and financial plans today, members of the Champion’s Society guarantee the long-term success of Special Olympics and its athletes.
Like the athletes whom it benefits, the Champion’s Society transcends all boundaries and was created to pay tribute to the dedicated individuals who have included Special Olympics in their will or other estate and financial plans. All members are connected by a shared vision to help Special Olympics ensure a safe and quality athlete experience, grow in numbers and expand our reach.
There are no membership fees or minimum gift amounts to join the Champion’s Society. The size of your gift is entirely your choice and is kept confidential. If you have already included Special Olympics in a bequest or other planned gift, we hope you will let us know. Your willingness to be listed as a member of the Champion’s Society not only encourages others to follow your example, but inspires the family members, athletes and community at large that Special Olympics’ life-improving mission will continue for generations to come.
