Topgolf is committed to making the game of golf more diverse, inclusive and fun. The partnership between Topgolf and Special Olympics demonstrates how inclusive sport training and competition can serve as a catalyst for inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. What starts in a Topgolf bay can extend into our classrooms, workplaces, and communities.

Join us on Saturday Aug. 29th as local athletes go for the gold at Topgolf. Click HERE to register as a volunteer.

“Feet Meets” are a way for schools to engage students with and without intellectual disabilities. Students practice the sports stations at their schools for six to eight weeks in preparation for the culminating Feet Meet.


Feet Meets are school events that occur during the school day.

On Mother’s Day in 2018, Billy Duquette bowled a 299. The score of 299 in bowling is almost infamous, it means you bowl 11 straight strikes and then miss the final frame by 1-pin. It’s the equivalent to throwing a perfect game in baseball up until the 9th inning with 2-outs and then giving up a hit.

It was a day that Kenmore Middle School in Arlington will never forget. Back in September, ESPN announced on the air, their Top 5 National Banner Schools. Kenmore received the honor as a result of having met national standards of excellence in the areas of inclusion, advocacy and respect. Kenmore was one of five schools to receive the distinction, being chosen specifically out of 131 other schools around the country. They were also the only middle school to receive the prestigious honor.

19-year-old Joe Salter isn’t actually 19 years old like he says he is. He’s also not the fastest runner in the world like he says he is. However, Joe Salter is exactly who he wants to be, all of the time. He’s unapologetically Joe and he’s proud of it.

Michele Philip has a message for her fellow athletes.

A record-breaking 5,432 plungers and runners came together to raise $1.7 million for Special Olympics Virginia, proving inclusion knows no temperature.
