Good for Business and Employee Morale

Volunteering for Special Olympics brings your employees, colleagues and clients together for one purpose — inspiring greatness in Special Olympics athletes and bringing hope and pride to their families. But Special Olympics volunteers do not only inspire the athletes. They’re also inspired by them.

Special Olympics will work with you, providing meaningful volunteer opportunities for all interested employees. Together, we can create employee fundraising activities, develop an athlete employment initiative, and create and administer an employee incentive program to recognize top employee volunteers.

We have plenty of success stories to share. Take a moment to look over partner testimonials from The Coca-Cola Company, Mattel Inc., Procter & Gamble and Safeway Inc. Discover how Special Olympics has impacted their lives, not only in a business sense, but in a powerfully personal way as well.
