FAMILY AND FREINDS
Parents, guardians, caregivers, and friends of Special Olympics Ontario Kitchener-Waterloo (SOOKW) athletes play an important role in each athlete's success. You make a difference by encouraging athletes to make healthy lifestyle choices, by cheering them on at practices and competitions, and by providing all-around support.
Family and friends also play an important role in the SOOKW organization by helping to create a positive environment at Special Olympics events and by getting involved as administrative volunteers and coaches.
At the same time, involvement in SOOKW provides family and friends of Special Olympics athletes with opportunities to:
- Experience the satisfaction of watching your loved one develop and succeed in sport and in life!
- Meet others who understand the unique rewards and challenges of having a loved one with an intellectual disability.
- Get involved in Special Olympics athletic and social functions and fundraising events.
- Develop a network of support and friendship with athletes and volunteers.
