The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of skills and friendship with their families, Special Olympics athletes and the community.

As the world's preeminent and most respected youth sports organization, we will inspire and shape future generations. We strive to embody our values – Community, Fun, Integrity, Inclusion, and Teamwork - each and every day.

PlaySafe works to educate, promote, support and foster healthy lifestyles, wellness and safe athletic participation in active youth, young adults and the community at large. The Sports Medicine Services in our community are unfunded by the state. PlaySafe, a 501c(3) non-profit organization, strives to support essential sports medicine services to our athletic youth and community by providing and funding certified athletic trainers to secondary schools in our community. We believe that professional, competent sports medicine services, begin with a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), and are critical to safe and healthy athletic participation. Certified athletic trainers are experts in sports-related injury prevention, assessment & care. The presence of a full-time ATC can simply put, save a life!
