2021 State Indoor Winter Games Cancellation Memo
Special Olympics Georgia 2021 State Indoor Winter Games Memo
November 16, 2020
To all Special Olympics Georgia Indoor Winter Games Agencies and Volunteers:
Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) has come to the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 State Indoor Winter Games scheduled for January 29 – 31 in Marietta, Georgia. The SOGA team and Games Organizing Committee have worked diligently over the past several months to organize this event, however due to the current pandemic and rising cases of COVID-19 in our State, this decision must be made. SOGA is still organizing and planning for the 2021 State Summer Games and State Horse Show for May 28 – 30 in Atlanta, GA. More information will be distributed as we move closer to these two events.
SOGA would like to thank ALL the Agencies and Volunteers for their support, patience and understanding during these challenging times. SOGA is continuing to work on return to play activities and programming for the remainder of this year, so that Athletes from around the State will be able to safely get back into doing what they love.
We appreciate your cooperation during these challenging times. For questions, please contact Chief Sports and Program Officer, David Crawford at david.crawford@specialolympicsga.org or (229) 292-5143.
Thank you for supporting Special Olympics Georgia and the amazing Athletes!

Special Olympics Georgia – 2021 State Horse Show Memo
Special Olympics Georgia State Horse Show Memo
October 2, 2020
To all Special Olympics Georgia Programs:
Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) is working diligently to provide quality competitions and experiences for all Athletes, Coaches, Unified Partners, Families and Volunteers during these challenging times from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the future is still uncertain concerning the pandemic, SOGA is slowly moving forward with preparations for future events and is having to adjust and change for quality programming to continue. Starting in 2021, SOGA will be hosting the State Horse Show in the month of May. The dates of competition next year will be on May 28-29, 2021. The State Horse Show will be at a new venue & location. It will be held at Wills Park Equestrian Center in Alpharetta, GA.
SOGA is making changes in all aspects of operations and finding cost effective programming is a major hurdle during today’s environment. Below are some of the considerations in which SOGA has come to this decision:
• Incredible facilities in the metro-Atlanta area to accommodate all needs
• Venue & hotel locations within 5 miles of each other with quick & easy access to attend to horses
• Not being able to host the competition in 2020 and will be in conjunction with State Summer Games
• Financial challenges concerning revenue versus expenditures
Special Olympics Georgia understands change can be difficult, but it is necessary in order to continue moving forward during the difficult environment everyone is facing. We appreciate your cooperation during these challenging times. For any questions, please contact David Crawford at david.crawford@specialolympicsga.org or (229) 292-5143.
Thank you for supporting Special Olympics Georgia and the amazing Athletes!
