Area 26

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.

The partnership between Marymount University and Special Olympics demonstrates how involvement in inclusive sport training and competition can serve as a catalyst for inclusion and provide an unique opportunity to learn directly from athletes with intellectual disabilities. Events like this show how participation can extend beyond the field into classrooms and workplaces, and plays an active role in creating opportunities for athletes and building connections in their own community.
