Help Support 30 years of Special Olympics in Stevens Point.

The past 30 years of Special Olympics Wisconsin Summer Games in Stevens Point has been made possible due to the hard work and dedication of the local businesses, organizations and volunteers. Your work has allowed Special Olympics to provide an environment for children and adults with cognitive disabilities with opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
