Sports Paused Through May 2, Summer Games Delayed
Special Olympics Michigan (SOMI) is extending its pause of all in-person sports through Sunday, May 2. The 2021 State Summer Games is also delayed from its previously-proposed date of Friday, June 4.
What We Do
Special Olympics Michigan provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Athletes develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy while participating in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship among their families, Special Olympics athletes and the community. The athletes achieve their dreams with the support of caring volunteers, coaches, family members and staff. Donations from Michigan citizens and businesses provide funding for the program.
