PROGRAM ASSISTANCE:AS OF 2015, SPECIAL OLYMPICS' GLOBAL REACH HAS EXPANDED TO 5 MILLION ATHLETES. THROUGH SPORTS, CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES (ID) ARE LEARNING VITAL SOCIAL, PHYSICAL AND ADAPTIVE SKILLS. THEY ARE REVEALING NEW STRENGTHS AND ABILITIES, GAINING CONFIDENCE, AND CHANGING ATTITUDES EVERY DAY, AROUND THE WORLD.THIS YEAR, OUR ATHLETES WERE ABLE TO CHANGE ATTITUDES ON A SCALE NEVER BEFORE SEEN. THE 2015 WORLD SUMMER GAMES IN LOS ANGELES BROKE EVERY SPECIAL OLYMPICS RECORD FOR GLOBAL MEDIA COVERAGE AND SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT - REACHING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND GENERATING OVER 20 BILLION IMPRESSIONS THROUGH MULTIPLE MEDIA.BUT SPECIAL OLYMPICS COMPETITIONS HAPPEN EVERY DAY - NOT JUST OVER A NINE-DAY WORLD GAMES. IN 2015, OUR ATHLETES IN 170 COUNTRIES TOOK PART IN MORE THAN 100,000 GAMES AND COMPETITIONS. AND THIS YEAR, OUR MOST REVOLUTIONARY SPORTS INITIATIVE - SPECIAL OLYMPICS UNIFIED SPORTS - MARKED A NEW GLOBAL MILESTONE. AS OF 2015, UNIFIED SPORTS HAVE BROUGHT TOGETHER MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION ATHLETES - WITH AND WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES - TO PLAY TOGETHER AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.EVERY DAY, WE ARE WORKING TOWARD AN INCLUSIVE WORLD THAT CELEBRATES PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES. AND EVERY DAY, A TOP PRIORITY IS EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE - WITH AND WITHOUT ID - TO CARRY THIS MISSION INTO THE FUTURE. IN THE WORDS OF ONE SCHOOL OFFICIAL: "OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH SPECIAL OLYMPICS ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO BECOME YOUNG LEADERS 'WHO KNOW THE WAY, GO THE WAY, AND SHOW THE WAY'." THIS YEAR, WE SHOWED THE WAY BY ENGAGING 3.15 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WIDEN OUR IMPACT AND REACH -WITH YOUR HELP.LA2015 GAMES: THE LARGEST GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN EVENT OF THE YEAR IN 2015, SPECIAL OLYMPICS ISSUED A GLOBAL CALL INVITING EVERYONE TO EXPERIENCE OUR WORLD: WHERE ABILITIES ARE CELEBRATED, WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND CULTURES PLAY AND LIVE UNIFIED, WHERE THE SPIRIT OF JOY AND UNITY PREVAIL!MANY, MANY THOUSANDS TOOK UP THIS OFFER TO JOIN OUR 2015 WORLD SUMMER GAMES IN LOS ANGELES, CALIF., USA. FROM 25 JULY TO 2 AUGUST 2015, WE WELCOMED GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS AND SPORTS LEADERS, CELEBRITIES AND INFLUENCERS, PLUS FANS, FAMILIES AND ACTIVISTS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. MILLIONS MORE TUNED IN REMOTELY, FOLLOWING OUR GAMES ONLINE, ON TV, OR VIA COVERAGE BY NEARLY 2,000 INTERNATIONAL MEDIA OUTLETS.WHY? TO SEE MORE THAN 6,000 SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES FROM 164 COUNTRIES PROVE HOW SPORTS CONNECTS, UNITES AND INVITES US ALL, EMPOWERING EACH ONE OF US - WITH OR WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES - TO BECOME THE BEST WE CAN BE. SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES SET RECORDS OF ACHIEVEMENT AND EXCEEDED PERSONAL BESTS IN 25 SPORTS, INCLUDING THE FIRST-EVER SPECIAL OLYMPICS TRIATHLON. WITH NEARLY 2,000 COACHES, 10,000 VOLUNTEERS AND AN ESTIMATED 500,000 SPECTATORS, THE 2015 WORLD GAMES ALSO SET RECORDS FOR PARTICIPATION AND ENTHUSIASTIC FANS IN THE STANDS.THESE WORLD GAMES HAPPENED AT AN IMPORTANT TIME FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES (ID). THE FIRST DAY OF COMPETITION CAME ON THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, THE FIRST MAJOR U.S. DISABILITY-RIGHTS LAW. IN ADDITION, AHEAD OF THE GAMES, SHRIVER MEDIA AND SPECIAL OLYMPICS, SUPPORTED BY THE RICHARD AND CECILIA ATTIAS FOUNDATION, RELEASED THE "SHRIVER REPORT SNAPSHOT: INSIGHT INTO INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY." THE FINDINGS REVEALED HOW THE PUBLIC'S CONNECTIONS TO PEOPLE WITH ID INCREASES ACCEPTANCE AND POSITIVE ATTITUDES - AND CONFIRMED THAT LACK OF EXPOSURE DRIVES FEAR AND MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PEOPLE WITHOUT ID AND THOSE WITH ID. THE 2015 WORLD GAMES OFFERED A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO BRING GLOBAL EXPOSURE TO THE TALENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, A CENTER OF GREAT STORYTELLING AND DRAMA, SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES SHOWED THE WORLD A NEW STORYLINE: WITH PERSONAL AND POIGNANT STORIES OF SUCCESS AND INCLUSION, NOT EXCLUSION.

PUBLIC EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATIONS:OUR SPORTS EVENTS BRING TOGETHER LARGE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES OF ATHLETES, FAMILIES, FANS, COACHES, VOLUNTEERS AND MANY OTHERS. PEOPLE COME AWAY WITH THEIR PERCEPTIONS FOREVER CHANGED ABOUT THE SKILLS AND TALENTS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. IN ONE EXAMPLE, A NIELSEN HOMESCAN OMNIBUS SURVEY GATHERED BEFORE AND AFTER THE 2015 WORLD GAMES IN LOS ANGELES REVEALED POSITIVE SHIFTS IN PERCEPTIONS ABOUT CAPABILITIES OF PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN NEARLY SIX MILLION U.S. HOUSEHOLDS.IN 2015, OUR ATHLETES' IMAGES, WORDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS REACHED VAST NEW AUDIENCES ALL AROUND THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY THROUGH OUR MEDIA AND CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS. THROUGH INSPIRING AND HEARTFELT STORIES, OUR ATHLETES BECAME FAMOUS AND ADMIRED - SOME RECOGNIZABLE BY ONLY THEIR FIRST NAMES: CHEVY, DAVAA, ALYSSA, KENNY.THIS MARKED THE FIRST FULL YEAR OF OUR MICROSOFT PARTNERSHIP AIMED AT MODERNIZING OUR SOFTWARE AND GAMES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, PLUS RELATED TECHNOLOGY GOALS. AHEAD OF THE 2015 WORLD GAMES, OUR MICROSOFT PARTNERS CREATED MEMORABLE ADS AND VIDEO PROFILES FEATURING ATHLETE HOSTS SAM AND MATTIE. BANK OF AMERICA ALSO PRODUCED VIDEOS FEATURING BANK OF AMERICA EMPLOYEE KENNY JONES, WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A LONGTIME SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETE. BANK OF AMERICA ALSO SPEARHEADED THE TRAINING OF OUR MOST VISIBLE ATHLETE LEADERS, THE 2015-2019 CLASS OF SARGENT SHRIVER INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL MESSENGERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, OUR FOUNDING PARTNER, CONTINUED TO INNOVATE WITH THEIR CATCHY "UNIFIED MUSIC" ACTIVATION.IN MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES, THE DISTINCTIVE PSA "ALL CHAMPIONS ARE SPECIAL" - NARRATED BY LIAM NEESON - AIRED ACROSS ALL DISCOVERY NETWORKS FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE, PLUS MANY STATIONS IN ASIA AND LATIN AMERICA. IN JUST ONE MONTH, THE TOTAL VIK MEDIA VALUE FOR THE AD WAS 2.6 MILLION (NEARLY US$3 MILLION).THIS YEAR INCLUDED OTHER WIDELY SUCCESSFUL MARKETING ACTIVATIONS AND MAJOR EVENTS SUCH AS OUR SPECIAL OLYMPICS UNIFIED RELAY ACROSS AMERICA PRESENTED BY BANK OF AMERICA. IN THIS FIRST-EVER EVENT, THE FLAME OF HOPE WAS CARRIED BY MORE THAN 10,000 SUPPORTERS ACROSS THREE SIMULTANEOUS ROUTES AND OVER 20,000 MILES ACROSS THE USA, SPREADING AWARENESS OF THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS MOVEMENT AND THE 2015 WORLD GAMES. IMPROVING ATHLETE PERFORMANCE & HEALTHFOR OUR ATHLETES TO PERFORM AT THEIR BEST, THEY MUST BE HEALTHY. YET, STUDIES SHOW THAT ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES FACE GROSS DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO PROPER HEALTH CARE. SINCE 1997, THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS HEALTHY ATHLETES PROGRAM HAS BEEN PROVIDING FREE SCREENINGS IN MULTIPLE MEDICAL DISCIPLINES AT COMPETITIONS. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE ATHLETES' LIVES - ON THE PLAYING FIELD AND OFF. DURING THE 2015 WORLD GAMES, MORE THAN 17,600 SPECIAL OLYMPICS HEALTHY ATHLETES EXAMS WERE GIVEN - A NEW RECORD! IN ALL, WE HAVE PROVIDED MORE THAN 1 MILLION FREE EXAMS FOR OUR ATHLETES AROUND THE WORLD. BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR ATHLETES IN BETWEEN WORLD GAMES OR OTHER COMPETITIONS? HOW CAN WE REACH OUT?THANKS TO A GENEROUS $12 MILLION GIFT FROM THE GOLISANO FOUNDATION, THE START OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS HEALTHY COMMUNITIES THREE YEARS AGO TRANSFORMED OUR HEALTH OFFERINGS INTO A YEAR-ROUND FOCUS ON INCLUSIVE WELLNESS PROGRAMMING AND HEALTHCARE. IN 2015, A NEW DONATION OF $25 MILLION FROM THE GOLISANO FOUNDATION - THE LARGEST SINGLE GIFT IN OUR HISTORY - IS HELPING US EXPAND THIS PROGRAM TO CREATE EVEN MORE INCLUSIVE HEALTH PROGRAMMING FOR PEOPLE WITH ID.THIS IS CRITICAL WORK, AS OUR ATHLETES' HEALTH IS NEGLECTED IN WAYS THAT CONTINUE TO SHOCK. VOLUNTEERS LEARNED THIS AT A 'MISSION INCLUSION' HEALTH EVENT IN BRAZIL, CO-SPONSORED BY LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL AND WITH HELP FROM SAFILO GROUP AND ESSILOR. THERE, NEW CLINICAL DIRECTORS WERE TRAINED IN SEVERAL HEALTHY ATHLETES DISCIPLINES. VOLUNTEERS FOUND THAT NEARLY HALF (48%) OF THE ATHLETES HAD EYE PROBLEMS OR NEEDED CORRECTIVE LENSES. MORE THAN 30% WERE FOUND WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECTED THEIR ABILITY TO HEAR; THEY WERE ALL QUICKLY REFERRED FOR SPECIALIZED EVALUATIONS. OTHER PARTNERS ARE ALSO JOINING SPECIAL OLYMPICS TO CREATE INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES IN HEALTH. IN NIGERIA, EXXONMOBIL IS WORKING WITH US TO BREAK DOWN HEALTH BARRIERS BY PROVIDING SPECIALLY-ADAPTED MALARIA AND HIV EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, AS WELL AS DISTRIBUTING BED NETS AND TESTING FOR BOTH MALARIA AND HIV/AIDS.

SPORTS TRAINING AND COMPETITION:SINCE 1968, WE HAVE SEEN HOW SPORTS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. IT SHIFTS THE FOCUS FROM DISABILITY TO ABILITY, FROM ISOLATION TO INVOLVEMENT. THIS YEAR, OUR 2015 WORLD SUMMER GAMES IN LOS ANGELES BROUGHT THAT FOCUS TO THE WIDEST AUDIENCE IN OUR HISTORY. MORE THAN 6,500 ATHLETES - ALONG WITH 2,000 COACHES AND 10,000 VOLUNTEERS - TOOK PART IN 25 OLYMPIC-STYLE SPORTS AT 27 VENUES - COMPRISING 290 SEPARATE EVENTS. MORE THAN 500,000 SPECTATORS WERE THERE TO CHEER. ALWAYS AIMING TO EXCEED PERSONAL BESTS, SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES SET BEST-ON-RECORD MARKS IN SEVERAL SPORTS, INCLUDING AQUATICS, ATHLETICS, POWERLIFTING, CYCLING AND ROLLER-SKATING. THANKS TO BROADCAST PARTNER ESPN, COVERAGE OF THESE WORLD GAMES HIT A HISTORIC HEIGHT OF AWARENESS, ALL AROUND THE WORLD.UNIFIED SPORTS ALSO MARKED A BREAKTHROUGH YEAR - AS THE NUMBER OF UNIFIED ATHLETES AND TEAMMATES HIT THE 1 MILLION MARK WORLDWIDE. AND, FOR THE FIRST TIME, UNIFIED SPORTS WERE PART OF MORE THAN 25% OF WORLD GAMES EVENTS. UNIFIED SPORTS COMPETITIONS WERE HELD IN 13 DIFFERENT SPORTS, FEATURING COMPETITORS FROM 91 DELEGATIONS WITH 1,487 UNIFIED TEAMMATES. THE OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF UNIFIED SPORTS HAS BEEN WITH THE HELP OF ESPN, THE GLOBAL PRESENTING SPONSOR OF UNIFIED SPORTS, AND THE SAMUEL FAMILY FOUNDATION AND LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL. BEYOND WORLD GAMES, OUR SPORTS TRAININGS AND EVENTS - 108,000 IN 2015 ALONE - CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR INNOVATIVE NEW WAYS TO CHALLENGE OUR ATHLETES. OUR SPORTS PARTNERSHIPS AROUND THE WORLD HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN. THIS YEAR, A NEW PARTNERSHIP SIGNED WITH BADMINTON WORLD FEDERATION WILL INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR 110,000 ATHLETES IN 69 COUNTRIES TRAINING IN THE SPORT. THE BWF ALLIANCE ALSO OFFERS US THE POTENTIAL TO DOUBLE THOSE NUMBERS. TWO NEW IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS WITH THE EUROPEAN BOWL ASSOCIATION AND THE EUROPEAN POWERLIFTING FEDERATION WILL ALSO OPEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR ATHLETES WITH ID IN THE SPORTS OF BOWLING, BOCCE AND POWERLIFTING.THROUGHOUT 2015, SOME OF THE MOST SKILLED ATHLETES IN THE WORLD HELD COACHING CLINICS FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES, INCLUDING OLYMPIANS MICHAEL PHELPS, APOLO OHNO AND HANNAH TETER. PRO-BASKETBALL PLAYERS DAMIAN LILLARD AND ELENA DELLE DONNE ALSO HELPED TRAIN ATHLETES IN THE RUN UP TO THE WORLD GAMES COMPETITION.THIS YEAR, IN A GROWING TREND, SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES CONTINUE TO TAKE PART IN MORE MAINSTREAM SPORTING EVENTS, SUCH AS THE X-GAMES WINTER SPORTS COMPETITION, AS WELL AS MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER AND NATIONAL BASKETBALL ALL-STAR WEEKENDS. AS WE AIM TO GIVE THE ATHLETES THE BEST QUALITY SPORTS EXPERIENCE, TRAINING OF COACHES BECOMES CRUCIAL. WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR MANY THOUSANDS OF COACHES IN PERSON, VIA ONLINE AND VIDEO COURSES, AND THROUGH CELEBRITY CLINICS. THIS IS ANOTHER WAY WE BENEFIT ENORMOUSLY FROM OUR SPORTS PARTNERSHIPS. THESE INCLUDE THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FOUNDATION, WHICH THIS YEAR TRAINED COACHES FROM 15 ASIA-PACIFIC COUNTRIES IN BEST PRACTICES INVOLVED IN TRAINING ATHLETES WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. IN 2015, OVER 215 SPECIAL OLYMPICS PROGRAM LEADERS TOOK PART IN GLOBAL AND REGIONAL YOUNG ATHLETES TRAININGS FOR WORKING WITH ATHLETES AGES 2-7 YEARS. IT WAS ANOTHER GROWTH YEAR FOR OUR POPULAR YOUNG ATHLETES PROGRAM, WHICH EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION IN SOME OF THE MOST IMPOVERISHED PARTS OF THE WORLD.
