What Impact Will My Challenge Make?
Help Us Reach More Athletes
We’re calling for 500 passionate champions to step up, take on the challenge, and become true heroes for inclusion! Special Olympics Ireland supports over 6,000 athletes every year. But for every athlete we support, there are nearly 10 more we haven’t reached yet.
Be brave - Be a Champion - Set your target for €500, and you can be in our Raffle Draw! Just €500 Could Support One Athlete for an Entire Year. That’s one year of sport, inclusion, and confidence - possible because of you!
Your Support Means:
✔️ Belonging: A chance to be part of a team and make lasting friendships.
✔️ Growth: Learning new skills and building self-confidence.
✔️ Inspiration: Year-round competitions to keep athletes motivated at every level!
If each person raises €500, together we could raise enough to support 500 athletes – that’s a life-changing impact!
