We are looking for athlete spotlights and other information to share in the bi-weekly newsletter.
If you would like to contribute something that is going on at your local program or highlight an athlete, please send it to your Regional Manager. Also, there will be a Return to Play announcement released over the next week. Your Regional Manager will be contacting you with more information and details.

Due to the Coronaviruspandemic and our focus on the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, families, volunteers, and the entire community, Special OlympicsOhio has made the decision to extend the suspension of all in-person activities including practices, competition, and in-person social engagements until February 8th, 2021. We will continue to observe and evaluate the current COVID-19 climate, monitor the vaccination distribution, and make any further decisions and announcements toward the end of January.
