Our year-round program involves over 200 athletes and 100 volunteers.
With an annual operating budget of $70,000, we rely on local donations to provide a major part of our operating capital.
Funds raised cover items like uniforms, travel, venue rental and sports equipment.
Individuals, service clubs, community groups, businesses and corporations help us meet the growing needs of Special Olympics and our athletes.
There are many ways for you or your organization to make a positive impact in your community through Special Olympics, such as:
- Making a cash donation
- Providing a gift-in-kind donation
- Sponsoring a fundraising or special event
- Sponsoring an athlete or a team
- Initiating a new fundraising event
We organize a variety of local fundraising activities that are carried out by athletes and volunteers such as:
- bottle drives
- walk-a-thons
- swim-a-thons
- bowl-a-thons
Our programs depend on ongoing fundraising efforts. With your support, we can continue to offer the quality programs that our athletes rely on.

Tax Receipts
Receipts are issued by the Provincial Office for donations
greater than $20.00.
Nothing can replace the loss of a friend or loved one, but we can commemorate their life with a lasting tribute.
Memorial donations are typically made in memory of a deceased family member, friend who was a Special Olympics athlete or volunteer. A memorial donation is a fitting way to remember a special person while at the same time helping a special Olympian or the organization.
