By having a great evening out bowling with family and friends, you are also making a difference for the 24,470 registered Special Olympics Georgia Athletes. Our program provides year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. As athletes have fun and develop physical fitness, they find acceptance, become confident and aspire to greatness in other aspects of their lives. Our goal is to help bring persons with intellectual disabilities into the larger society under conditions where they are accepted and respected.
