Special Olympics provides year-round sports opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. With the help of funding from Lake Toxaway Charities, the local Special Olympics program provides sports training in: basketball, bocce, bowling, soccer, softball, swimming, and athletics (track and field).
Lake Toxaway Charities approved a grant request in 2020 to purchase sports equipment, fund facility rental fees, purchase uniforms and fund travel costs for our local Olympians.
