In honor of Women's History Month, meet Maggie Brown! Maggie has been a Special Olympics Colorado athlete for more than 10 years and started as a Young Athlete. She initially got involved through her school district and grew from there. Over the years, Maggie has competed in basketball, softball, bocce, track and field, swimming, golf and her favorite, bowling. According to Maggie’s mom, Tami, Maggie is very competitive and loves to win. Special Olympics Colorado is the perfect place to foster Maggie’s competitive spirit! A big moment Tami remembers in Maggie’s Special Olympics Colorado journey is when Maggie realized she could swim by herself. “She was so proud of herself,” said Tami. #WomensHistoryMonth #CelebrateWomen #SOColorado

Ending discrimination against people with intellectual disabilities.
关于我们
OUR MISSION The mission of Special Olympics Colorado (SOCO) is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. OUR HISTORY & VISION Special Olympics was founded in 1969 on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports. Special Olympics believes that consistent training is essential to the development of sports skills, and that competition among those of equal abilities is the most appropriate means of testing these skills, measuring progress and providing incentives for personal growth. Special Olympics also believes that through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially and spiritually; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united in understanding people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance.
