All About Special Olympics Chicago
In 1968, the first Special Olympics was held in Chicago at Soldier Field. What started as a simple track-and-field event, Special Olympics has grown into nationwide chapters, providing training and competition for athletes in 22 sports. Special Olympics Chicago recognizes athletes with disabilities and allows them to be celebrated by all of Chicago. These new events are so much more than popular sporting events. Now, children and adults with disabilities can join the mainstream society and participate in the sports they love.
In 1969, Special Children’s Charities was created to help kids of all ages reach their full potential. With support from Chicago Park District and Chicago Public Schools, kids with disabilities are able to enjoy the same sports as their peers. All of these events are made possible through caring mentors, welcoming atmospheres, and generous donors.
2022 Evening Reception Event
Special Olympics Chicago’s 2022 Evening Reception is the perfect time to support the athletes of Chicago. Sponsored by United Airlines, ASM Global, and CME Group, Special Olympics Chicago will deliver a night of learning, fun, and giving. From 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm on November 30th, join the Co-chairs and Event Committee for a night of celebration! Tickets are $125 each and include heavy appetizers and drinks. Plus, they are offering auction prizes. If you are looking to sponsor this event, please visit their Sponsorship Opportunities page. Their sponsors receive complimentary tickets, company advertising, and other marketing opportunities.

With donations and support from businesses and individuals across Chicago, Special Olympics thrives and drives change for all athletes. We hope to see you at their Evening Reception
