Special Olympics

IPA Charities has been a strong supporter of Special Olympics of Illinois since 2000. Most recently, IPA Charities was named as a presenting sponsor for the Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby and the event raised a total of more than $230,000!

The focus in Special Olympics is on what athletes can do. Like everyone, Special Olympics athletes like to win, but more importantly - they strive to do their best. The sportsmanship that is demonstrated on the court, in the field, or on the track serves as an inspiration to all.

Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic- type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities by giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Join us on our goal to support and provide the joy of teamwork, self-esteem and friendship to those participating in Special Olympics.
