ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) provides year-round training and competition in 21 Olympic-type
sports to 15,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities or closely related developmental
disabilities. For 50 years, SOPA and its 54 local programs have used the power of sports to transform the
lives of people with intellectual disabilities and unite everyone by fostering community and building a more
acceptable and civil society. SOPA is much more than a sports organization. Through its Athlete Leadership
Programs, athletes assume meaningful leadership roles, influence change within the Special Olympics
movement, and take on roles as Global Messengers (trained as public speakers for Special Olympics), athlete
representatives, coaches, board members, and more. SOPA also addresses significant challenges facing its
athletes, including healthcare. The Healthy Athletes program offers athletes free health screenings in the
form of eye, ear, dental, and podiatry assessments. Athletes are also taught to live active lifestyles, eat
healthy, and more. Additionally, SOPA strives to create a unified world by promoting inclusion, uniting
communities, and changing attitudes. Through Unified Sports, SOPA brings together individuals with and
without intellectual disabilities as equal teammates in training and competition, which promotes respect
and acceptance, and facilitates meaningful relationships between people of all abilities. For more
