Special Olympics Indiana - Hancock County “Let Me Win, but if I cannot win, Let Me Be Brave in the Attempt”
Welcome to Hancock County Indiana Special Olympics page

HISTORY
The first international Special Olympics games were organized by Eunice Kennedy Shriver and were held in 1968 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Indiana’s involvement began with those first games. OUTREACH
Worldwide efforts to have more athletes involved is the goal of Special Olympics. Indiana is focusing on the development of community-based programs in each county to include and increase the participation. PARTICIPATION
Over 11,000 children and adults in Indiana train and compete through county and local programs. To be eligible an individual must be eight years of age or older and have been identified by an agency or professional as having an intellectual disability or closely related developmental disability. SUPPORT
Special Olympics is a non-profit organization and funded through private donations and fundraising projects across the state and in each county. Fundraising helps pay entry fees, buys equipment, facility rentals for practicing and uniforms.
