Special Olympics Florida- Monroe County celebrates what athletes CAN do, not what society believes they can’t do.  This event is a CELEBRATION for all! 

It is truly a moving experience to watch an athlete perform their best and meet their personal goal.  Special Olympics athletes remind us all what sharing, giving, and happiness is all about. The Special Olympics Athlete’s Oath is one that we should all live by …

“Let me win.  But if I cannot win,

let me be brave in the attempt.”
