About Special Olympics Georgia

Special Olympics Georgia invests in people with intellectual disabilities, helping them develop athletic skills while also promoting the athletes’ abilities off the field. In achieving this goal through sports, they show the world that every person counts and can be something good when we work together.

The organization provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. When the athletes succeed, attitudes change, communities grow, self-esteem builds, and the eyes of the world focus on all that is good, hopeful and positive.

Athletes gain skills for employment and learn to be independent while forming relationships and helping the public understand their incredible capabilities despite the health issues they experience daily.

#TeamYardi Atlanta volunteers

Last month, the Atlanta team volunteered at AMF Lanes in Woodstock with Special Olympics Georgia. The place was packed with athletes and volunteers, and all 40 lanes were occupied.

Coaches and family cheered from the sidelines as the athletes scored strikes, spares and plenty of high fives and hugs. Yardi volunteers assisted the athletes, making sure they were bowling when it was their turn and being their biggest cheerleaders.

After three games were played, scores were tallied, and volunteers guided their group to the awards room. Each player was awarded a ribbon, bronze, silver or gold metal.

It was a day filled with joy and fun for all, leaving everyone with a sense of inspiration and upliftment!
