Message from the Area Director:Thank you for your interest in Area 10 Special Olympics! While we sometimes refer to ourselves as the Bismarck program because currently all our participants are from Bismarck, we actually serve Burleigh, Emmons and Kidder counties. Special Olympics is more than just a sporting event, it’s a celebration of inclusion, determination and the power of community. Athletes of all abilities ages 8 and up can train, compete, and thrive in a supportive environment. We offer 10 sports throughout the year and have around 250 athletes and more than 30 coaches and volunteers. Some of them participate year-round while others choose to do one sport. Either way, each person is a valued member of our program. Our athletes and volunteers firmly uphold the worldwide oath, “Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt” because, at the end of the day the journey is as important as winning. If you or someone you know is interested in being part of Area 10 Special Olympics, I would love to talk to you! Cathy Vetter
