Special Olympic Illinois ARPA funds will be used to recover from the negative economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic – being loss of revenue, athletes, volunteers, school engagement, Torch Run Officers, partnerships and overall community engagement. These funds will allow them to get back to serving the community at the level held prior to the pandemic. This funding will allow us, once again, to accomplish our mission to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, and other Special Olympics athletes and the community. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Special Olympics Illinois ceased programming in March 2020. For many of the Athletes, Special Olympics Illinois is the only socialization and physical activity that they experience. They meet their friends and feel a like a member of a community. As of today, many of these athletes still have not returned to the program and some may not ever. Special Olympic has created innovative ways to bring their program to them and provide services to the agencies/facilities that house our athletes. This funding is essential to provide the program to individuals who may be isolated or living in low-income communities. To mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19, Special Olympics seeks to offer a various of programs to its Athletes.
