Special Olympics is a world-wide program providing sports training and competition for people with an intellectual disability.

Founded in the early 1960s, the Special Olympics movement is now active in over 160 countries with more than 2,000,000 athletes participating. In Canada, over 32,000 athletes participate in training and competition organized by 12 Provincial and Territorial chapters.

The mission of Special Olympics Canada is to ensure that a full continuum of sport opportunities is available to people with an intellectual disability. SOO is the largest program in Canada and considered to be amongst the top programs in the world. From volunteer empowerment to financial accountability, SOO is recognized as a well managed, progressive program.

As Bay Street Hoops’ principal charity, SOO can work with our corporate partners to extend “value” and recognition beyond the event. Ask for more details!
