Oh yes, I sponsored and coached one once in track and field events. Very rewarding; I recommend it to anyone who gets the opportunity.If you've never been to Special Olympics, you are missing one of the world's greatest moments. The first time I went--our son was competing--I thought I was in the middle of the great movie, King of Hearts. The special needs kids were the normal ones, and everyone else was out of synch. It's a place where special needs families can just be themselves, without concern for anything but to celebrate their children's/siblings accomplishments.
