My Project
Our Special Olympics Unified Softball team is built on the belief that sports bring people together, break barriers, and create lifelong friendships. To continue fostering inclusion and teamwork, we need essential softball equipment, including gloves, tees, balls, bases, helmets, and bags. These resources will allow our athletes of all abilities to practice, compete, and grow in confidence, demonstrating that everyone—regardless of their abilities—can achieve their goals and dreams. With your support, we can provide our team with the tools they need to play, learn, and show the world the power of inclusion through sports!
More than half of students from low‑income households
