Corporate Support

Special Olympics is the world’s leading voice in elevating awareness of the needs and abilities of people with intellectual disabilities. For Special Olympics, communications is not a tool to support our mission - communications is our mission. Align your company with Special Olympics Virginia and we’ll assist you in showcasing your brand values and commitment to community.

In order to achieve our mission, we need support from companies big and small who can provide any of the following contributions:

  • Financial support
  • Value-in-kind product or service donations
  • Employee volunteerism
  • Employee fundraising
  • Matching gifts for workplace donations
  • Design services, media space, print or production assistance
  • Opportunities for athletes to speak at corporate/community events

To learn more about becoming a local, regional or official statewide partner, please e-mail Katie Botha, Director of Corporate Development, or call her at 804.726.3024 or 800.932.4653 x 3024. You can also refer to our 2011 annual corporate partner opportunities chart.
