Some of the most inspiring athletes and role models aren’t the pros you see on TV – they’re the everyday Special Olympics athletes among us in our schools and communities. Special Olympics Unified Sports pairs people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same teams – creating a fast and meaningful path to friendship and understanding.

Through promotion, partnership, and awareness, we will encourage Utahns to Show Up for Unified Sports. Introducing this life-changing program to additional schools and expanding Utah’s offerings to include additional sports and activities will foster greater empathy and understanding of our friends with intellectual disabilities and together we will reduce discrimination and prejudice.
