We are thrilled to unveil Do Something Special, our first-ever brand awareness campaign demonstrating how Special Olympics brings people together in ways that erase lines of division and isolation. The campaign launches today in conjunction with our annual Summer Games at Santa Clara University. The campaign helps redefine what it means to be ‘special’ within the Special Olympics movement and is designed to ignite momentum in our larger NorCal community. It addresses the preconceived notions of what it’s like to live with an intellectual disability and showcases our athletes reclaiming the word ‘special’ as a thing of power: “Special isn’t what we are. It’s what we do.” Each week we will be sharing content that features real Special Olympics NorCal athletes front-and-center as a celebration of their hard work, determination, sportsmanship, accomplishments, camaraderie and more. We invite you to see for yourself in our first spot and how we’re redefining “special.” Re-energizing and celebrating it. Making it our own again. You’re invited to #DoSomethingSpecial, too, by volunteering, donating, or joining our movement. Or simply sharing this message of Inclusion further. Visit DoSomethingSpecial.org for more information.

Special Edition! This week's episode of The Special Report highlights our amazing annual partner, Flyers Energy | A World Kinect Company! Flyers Energy has supported Special Olympics NorCal for nearly 30 years, and hosted the annual Flyers Fall Classic on Wednesday, Sept. 25, which raised an incredible $170,000 for our athletes! 🙌🙌 Earlier this year, Flyers also rolled out some new "Special" branded trucks to raise awareness of our programs. Check out the interview with Special Olympics NorCal Board Member Mike T. of Flyers and Athlete Leader Jeff, who is featured on the Flyers truck. #OneNorCal #DoSomethingSpecial https://lnkd.in/gH7DwMzB

We were thrilled to have Special Olympics Northern California at HQ for our first-ever Abilities Inclusion Group x SONC Lunch & Learn! We had an inspiring session listening to longtime SONC athletes Dashiell Meier and Jennifer “J-Lo” Hall discuss their experiences competing with SONC and their advocacy work in the Bay Area and beyond. Our employees were inspired by the work these amazing athletes continue to do in their community, and we can’t wait to continue supporting SONC
