Our Mission: Special Olympics PA Area M helps children and adults with intellectual difficulties grow stronger with body, mind and spirit through a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition.
Our Purpose: Special Olympics is focused on accomplishments rather than winning or losing. The benefit to the athlete is increased confidence and positive self image.
