We love the Special Olympics and have seen the joy it brings to the athletes and all who participate. Special Olympics is a life-changing organization that promotes understanding and inclusion between people with and without intellectual disabilities. The organization provides year-round training in Olympic style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Their programming promotes physical fitness, confidence, courage, and connection among people with and without disabilities. Athletes build team skills, personal resilience, and problem solving skills during the games, but most importantly they have fun. Because who doesn’t enjoy getting out there with friends and being the best you can be?

Special Olympics has played such an important role in making John the man that he is, today; it is near and dear to our hearts. Grab a pair of our Shark Crew Socks to celebrate the Special Olympics and raise money for this vital organization.
